Tyron Woodley won’t be receiving an immediately title rematch.
Instead, Woodley will be facing Robbie Lawler on June 29 at UFC on ESPN 4. While Woodley has his hands full with Lawler – who he knocked out to win the welterweight crown back in 2016 – Kamaru Usman will likely defend the 170-pound throne against Colby Covington next.
Should Covington win, Woodley would like to settle his differences with his former teammate. However, he also would like a chance to avenge his los to Usman down the line (via MMA Junkie):
“If Colby fights him and he ends up winning, obviously I’m going to want to whoop Colby’s ass,” Woodley said. “Then after that, I would want to give Usman a rematch, because I’ve got to get that back. It’s killing me.”
In regards to Covington and Usman’s likely match-up, Woodley believes the wrestling clash will be interesting. However, if things turn into a striking battle, “T-Wood” is putting his money on “The Nigerian Nightmare”:
“Covington will probably struggle in the striking department, but he has a crazy pace, so I think he can push the pace against Usman and get it close,” Woodley said.
“Usman has good striking abilities, but he’s not known for one-punch KO power. He’s got decent power; he’ll hit you and knock you down. But certain guys are known that if they touch you, it might be it. I think Colby can get close enough and try press him and make it a grappling war for longer.
“I think the later the fight goes, the better it looks for Colby. But sometimes you see two wrestlers get into a striking war, and I’d have to go with Usman.”

Former interim welterweight champion Colby Covington claims current champ Kamaru Usman is ‘faking injuries’ in an attempt to avoid fighting him. He’s not a fan of his manager, either.
Covington remains skeptical of the severity of Usman’s injuries despite evidence that he has already had several procedures done. Moreover, Covington believes that “The Nigerian Nightmare” is doing everything he can to avoid an eventual fight with him.
“He’s faking injuries,” Covington said. (via MMA Junkie) “He’s trying to use his belt as
A showdown between Covington and Usman has been steadily building to a head. Both fighters train at American Top Team in Coconut Creek, Florida and neither man really cares for the other.
Covington upped the trash talk and said Usman’s manager Ali Abdelaziz is feeding him lines:
“More lines that Ali Abdel-A-Sleaze is feeding him. (Usman) doesn’t even know what he’s talking about
When it comes to hyping a fight, few fighters take it further than Covington. He and Usman definitely have different strategies as it comes building interest in a fight.
“I think anything goes,” Covington said. “You just want to generate fans and get people to view. But you’ve got to know what you’re talking about. Don’t make this a political thing if you don’t know anything about politics. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He’s just going to make himself look really stupid. And that’s probably why he’s got a Division II education, and I’ve got a Division I education from a prestigious university.”
Hopefully, these two will meet inside the Octagon and then all the trash talking won’t matter. Either Covington’s seven-fight winning streak will disappear or Usman’s 10-fight streak and title are no more.
Covington doesn’t think its even going to be close.
“It’s going to look like an amateur vs. a professional,” Covington said. “He’s going to look like an amateur that night. He’s tried to copy my blueprint to success his whole career. The (Rafael dos Anjos) fight, the Demian Maia fight, even the Woodley fight. Those are things I’ve already done. I left those guys for dead, and he came and picked the bones off the carcasses. He hasn’t done anything that I haven’t done yet. He wants to be me, but he’s never going to beat me. It’s going to look real bad. I promise you that. He’s going to be in a pool of blood, and he’s going to have to go away from the octagon in a stretcher.”
If Covington does beat Usman and capture the welterweight strap, he promises to make the division exciting again. And with contenders like Ben Askren, that could easily be achieved.
“(Till and Thompson losing) doesn’t change really anything for me,” Covington said. “I’ve kind of been on top of the mountain by myself for a while, so this just kind of clears it out more. There’s nowhere else to go for Marty Usman. He’s been faking injuries. He’s trying to fight anybody but me. But now there’s nobody else. I’m the only one here, so there’s nowhere for him to run and hide anymore. …
“It’s exciting times for the welterweight division. I just want to keep knocking off top contender after top contender. I told the UFC, I told Dana (White) that I was here to make the division great again, and that’s by doing what the fans want, what the people want. Whoever they say is next, that’s going to be who’s next.”

Former interim welterweight champion Colby Covington just trashed Tyron Woodley for his ’embarrassing’ callout of Conor McGregor.
Covington is referring to the former champion’s comments to MMA Junkie last week where Woodley said that a match-up with the Irishman would be “dope”.
As a result of his callout, Woodley suffered some backlash. Covington trashed Woodley for calling out a 155-pound fighter.
“It’s embarrassing, man,” Covington on Monday told MMA Junkie. “Tyrone doing what he does best – embarrassing himself. He’s calling out a (155) pounder, a guy that’s below him that has no aspirations to fight him. The thing about Tyron, he’s not a draw. No one cares about him. The fans don’t want to see him fight. He’s boring inside the cage and outside the cage.”
You can’t fault Woodley for taking his shot at the biggest money fight of them all. However, it is rather unlikely the UFC would book that fight at this point in their careers. Covington agrees, and he can’t imagine any scenario in which the UFC would book Woodley and McGregor.
“He’s not going to get a big money fight with Conor,” Covington said. “He’s not a draw. He couldn’t even sell 100,000 pay-per-views by himself. Why’s Conor going to give him the spotlight to fame and money?”
