‘T-Wood’ was supposed to be fighting Leon Edwards at UFC London on Saturday night. The card was, unfortunately, relocated due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, Edwards and all the other European based fighters have withdrawn from their matchups.
After hearing the news about the Brit falling off the card, Burns high off stopping Demian Maia in one round at UFC Brasilia offered to fill in, he said.
“Come on @danawhite I said yesterday I’m saying again I fight Woodley Saturday! Put me in WOODLEY X BURNS! ?? @seanshelby @AliAbdelaziz00 @ufc @UFCBrasil #AAA”
Just one day later, and it appears the potential fight is off. According to Burns, the former 170lb champion refused to fight him. Posting to Twitter, the Brazilian said.
“Man Shame on this former champ he said He is on killer mode! No you’re not you don’t want no smoke! I will see u soon @TWooodley thanks @danawhite @seanshelby and my manager @AliAbdelaziz00 to try to make this fight! I’m always available to fight but this guys talk to much.”
Since the tweet, Cole Shelton has reported Woodley did indeed turn down the fight with Burns. According to Shelton, the former welterweight king is actively pursuing a fight with Rafael Dos Anjos instead.
“Sources tell me Tyron Woodley did turn down Gilbert Burns as they are pushing for the RDA fight this weekend at a location TBD.” – Cole Shelton.
While RDA appears to be the front runner right now, Woodley’s first choice is Colby Covington, and this is something he made clear to his fans when talking about potential replacement fighters on Instagram live.
“Colby Covington is my number one choice. My No. 1 choice. If I can fight him, Lord, there is a heaven above.” (Transcribed by BJPENN.com)

UFC welterweight Gilbert Burns continues to show that he truly is ready to fight any time, any place.
Burns defeated Demian Maia via first-round TKO in the co-main event of UFC Brasilia last night. It hasn’t been 24 hours since and the Brazilian is already offering to step in and fight against Tyron Woodley next weekend.
Woodley was originally scheduled to take on Leon Edwards in the UFC London headliner. However, the fight had to be relocated to the United States due to restrictions stemming from the coronavirus outbreak.
That unfortunately meant Edwards would not be able to make it as their fight was eventually scrapped. Burns, however, is willing to save the event.
“Come on @danawhite I said yesterday I’m saying again I fight Woodley Saturday! Put me in WOODLEY X BURNS! ?? @seanshelby @AliAbdelaziz00 @ufc @UFCBrasil #AAA”
As things stand, Woodley’s involvement in the card is still to be decided. If the event goes on, the UFC also have to determine a new city.
“Woodley’s involvement on the card in the yet-to-be determined city is still TBD,” ESPN’s Ariel Helwani tweeted. “They have begun talking about replacement options but still haven’t finalized where this card is happening yet and he hasn’t agreed to a new foe. They are still hell-bent on going through with it.”
If Woodley is open to facing Burns, we might just have an event taking place next week.
What do you make of Burns offering to step in?
