UFC welterweight contender Colby Covington isn’t a big fan of the upcoming Tyron Woodley vs. Jake Paul boxing match, saying that his former rival is more than likely going to throw the fight in order to make easy cash.

The boxing bout between Woodley and the younger Paul brother was announced earlier this week, after weeks of speculation as to who Paul would face next after his first-round knockout of Ben Askren. Woodley will be making his boxing debut after a long tenure in the UFC that included his reign as welterweight champion.

Covington doesn’t have much faith in Woodley, his former nemesis in the octagon. He defeated Woodley by TKO at UFC Vegas 11 and thinks that he not only won’t be able to defeat Paul, but he won’t be showing much of an effort to win at all.

“Make no mistakes – Tyron has a great legacy, but he’s picking these fights with guys that are kind of toward the end of their career,” Covington told MMA Junkie. “

“But they’re doing this on purpose, and I really think Tyron is going out there to take a dive. I think he’s broke. He needs the money. So I think he’s just going to go out there and take a dive. So this little side circus they’re doing with Jake Paul, of course, they’re going to favor his way to make it a work.”

Woodley is making his transition to the boxing world after losing his last four fights in the UFC, including a loss to Covington following his title loss to champion Kamaru Usman. Woodley also lost his last UFC fight in the octagon at UFC 260 against Vicente Luque by submission.

Woodley and Paul have a history stemming from their heated locker room altercation just before the Askren bout. The two squared off in a heated faceoff yesterday in Miami to promote the August 28th fight.

Covington is suspected to be the next title challenger to Usman later this year, but nothing is official just yet. He’s been on a long hiatus since his win over Woodley last Fall.

Colby Covington is no longer interested in fighting Jorge Masvidal after seeing ‘Gamebred’ get knocked out by Kamaru Usman at UFC 261.

‘Chaos’ has been calling for a fight with his former teammate and friend for some time, but Masvidal has shown little interested in the grudge match.

During a recent interview with MMA Junkie, Covington claimed a fight between him and Masvidal no longer makes sense.

“It doesn’t make sense,” Covington said. “I’m not gonna have people downplay my victory if I beat him. I’ve already owned his soul for the last 10 years when we trained together at American Top Team. You can go look on the internet, I used to hold him down in our kitchen and just pat on his face, ‘Get up Masvidal, get up, do something,’ and he couldn’t do anything. So he knows I’m his daddy, I’m his rightful owner, and there’s a reason he ducked the fight for so long. He doesn’t want to fight me.

“He knows I own the keys to his soul, so I don’t know. If the UFC really wants to do it, I’m the people’s champ, and I’m America’s champ for a reason. I’ll do what the people want, what the UFC want. I want to put the biggest and best fights in the organization, but I don’t feel like he’s the biggest and best fight in the organization. The guy has almost 20 losses on his record, he’s nothing more than a journeyman at this point, so his 10 seconds of fame are up, and there’s nothing for me to gain anymore.”

UFC president, Dana White recently revealed that Covington is next in line for a shot at the welterweight title. Usman who currently holds the belt has attempted to distance himself from a rematch with Covington who is determined to avenge his loss to ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’

“I’ve already beat him up and knocked him out multiple times in the gym. I have nothing to prove against him,” Covington said of Masvidal. “I want to go out there, beat ‘Marty Fakenewsman,’ solidify myself as the greatest welterweight in the world, and go on to solidify myself as the greatest welterweight of all time. I have unfinished business.”
