Lawler is recovering from ACL surgery on his knee that will keep him sidelined through the end of 2018 but Thompson hopes to get his long-awaited showdown with the former champion early next year.
Meanwhile, Lawler last fought in December of 2017, where he lost against Rafael Dos Anjos via unanimous decision. His last victory took place in July last year when he won a decision victory over Donald Cerrone at UFC 214 in Texas.
