Kamaru Usman believe Tyron Woodley fighting Colby Covington is the best and worst-case scenario for him.
In the main event on September 19, Covington and Woodley are set for their rivalry fight. It has been a fight both men have called for, for over two years. The winner will no doubt be trash-talking the other so the stakes are high and for the welterweight champion in Usman, he believes it is a tough matchup for the former champ.
“I think that this is the best and possibly the worst-case scenario for Tyron Woodley,” Usman explained on the post-fight show (h/t MMAFighting). “As far as style matchups, I think this is probably one of the worst stylistic matchups for him after coming off back-to-back fights with guys that love kind of pressure him. Guys that can grapple as well and guys that kind of throw some volume.”
Yet, Kamaru Usman believes the old Tyron Woodley is back and he will show up on the 19th. He also knows if he fights like his old self, he is a tough out for Covington.
“On the flipside, this is a tremendous matchup for Tyron Woodley because Tyron Woodley is a specialist when it comes to dealing with southpaws,” Usman said. “He knows how to angle off, to kind of guide them into that big right hand that he has.
“Of course, the one thing that I feel like I’m being pulled in again is Tyron is giving me this ‘I’m back, I’m back, I’m back.’ So I’m starting to drink the Kool-Aid again. Maybe the Tyron Woodley of old is back.”
Ultimately, the welterweight champion plans on watching this fight very closely.
“I’m intrigued by this matchup,” Usman said. “I can’t wait to see it happen. Two guys that I’m familiar with and I’ll be watching closely.”
Who do you think will win, Colby Covington or Tyron Woodley?

UFC welterweight king Kamaru Usman heaped praise on Michel Pereira after the flamboyant Brazilian striker returned to the win column in fantastic fashion at UFC Vegas 9 this past weekend.
Pereira put on a three-round striking clinic against the game but outgunned Zelim Imadaev before eventually picking up a late submission win. Usman, who was on analyst duties for the ESPN+ broadcast had nothing but good things to say about Pereira who he thinks is destined for big things sooner rather than later.
“I loved everything that I saw from him because he proved to everybody, our bosses, and myself included, that he can be a full complete fighter,” Usman said. “I mean, everything was spectacular – his awareness, his cage awareness, the way he was moving, the way he was setting up those traps moving side-to-side and then landing those big shots. It was a spectacular performance from him. I think this is a guy that’s looking to get paired up against someone big in the future, the near future.” (Transcribed by BJPENN.com)
Pereira seems to agree with Usman. The 27-year-old immediately called out Jorge Masvidal after picking up his first win in three fights. Pereira was previously disqualified when he fought Diego Sanchez at UFC Rio Rancho back in March. Before that, he suffered a huge upset defeat at the hands of UFC newcomer Tristan Connelly who shocked the world by picking up a decision win on just a few days’ notice in September 2019.
A matchup opposite Masvidal appears highly unlikely at this moment in time, with the Floridian currently in discussions to rematch Stockton all-rounder, Nate Diaz at UFC 246 in January – with BMF status up for grabs once more.
