Colby Covington defeated Tyron Woodley via injury TKO at UFC Vegas 11. On Twitter, pro fighters reacted to the bout.
In the fifth round of UFC Vegas 11’s main event, an anticlimatic ending to Colby Covington’s and Tyron Woodley’s rivalry happened. Although the former champion had ‘Chaos’ in a guillotine choke, Woodley suffered an injured rib while at it and verbally gave up, awarding his opponent the TKO victory. On Twitter, pros reacted to the unusual finish.

10-9 Colby. Tyron needs to patiently go forward and use combos, work behind the jab, mix in low kicks etc. doing his old usual thing in the second half of the round.colby having a problem with range though.

Love him or hate him Covington can fight ! @ColbyCovMMA Very hard to see this last stretch of fights for my man @TWooodley. That’s like 15 rounds in a row where he hasn’t been able to get going. Gotta take a real look at what’s next. But great win by Colby!!
