January 31, 2019), Askren doubled down on past comments, stating he […]

Colby Covington no longer has a UFC title shot waiting for him on the horizon.
“Chaos” will have to earn the opportunity yet again. Speaking on a Facebook Live chat with the Las Vegas Review-Journal after the UFC 225 press conference yesterday (Thurs. January 31, 2019), UFC President Dana White said Covington will need to earn the opportunity again (via MMA Junkie):
“Colby now is going to have to fight again and earn the spot to get back,” White said.
The UFC’s 170-pound division is shaping up rather nicely. Woodley is preparing to defend his title against top contender Kamaru Usman. They’ll co-main event UFC 235 on pay-per-view (PPV) on March 2nd from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Also, welterweight great Ben Askren has finally joined the division.
He’ll make his promotional debut at the PPV as well, facing off against former champion Robbie Lawler. For Covington to get back in the title mix again, he’ll need to pick up a big victory. He was in a great position just this past summer. With a victory over former 155-pound champion Rafael dos Anjos, capturing the interim 170-pound title in the process, Covington was all but guaranteed the next crack at Woodley.
However, issues on both sides prevented that fight from happening. Woodley is now heading into his second title defense since Covington’s interim title victory, which “Chaos” has since been stripped of. It will be interesting to see if the former training partners ever find themselves fighting each other in 2019.

Despite his best efforts to try and make it happen, UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley concedes that a fight with Georges St-Pierre just isn’t going to happen.
Woodley currently reigns as the undisputed champion of the UFC’s 170-pound division. However, with 170-pound great Georges St-Pierre now back in the mix, Woodley would love to test himself against the future Hall Of Famer. “T-Wood” has tried to get the potential fight going several times, but it doesn’t seem like anything will be coming to fruition.
Especially after speaking to one of GSP’s coaches, legendary boxing coach Freddie Roach, Woodley has pretty much accepted he won’t be sharing the Octagon with “GSP” (via ESPN):
“I was talking to Freddie, and it’s just not gonna happen,” Woodley said. “We’re not gonna fight. It would be great to see. I think the fans would like to see the pound for pound best welterweight in the history of the sport at that current time to fight the one that’s saying he’s the GOAT right now.
“I think it’d be a great fight. But I’m not getting my hopes up. I’ve got one kid in front of me that’s coming up March 2nd. So I’m gonna focus on that.”
Now, Woodley is focusing on what’s directly in front of him. That being his upcoming title defense against Kamaru Usman. They’ll co-main event UFC 235 on pay-per-view (PPV) from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on March 2, 2019.

At Thursday’s press conference, there were several fighters on the stage but it was Woodley and Usman who brought the heat. Usman also made his intentions known while preparing for this title bout.
“I ain’t bringing 30 percent for you,” Usman told Woodley in front of MMAjunkie. “I have a bigger shovel out here. When it comes to digging deep, ain’t nobody who can dig as hard as I can dig. I want you to bring your best game. My shovel is so deep. This is one thing you ain’t never seen from me. I ain’t backing up. When you hit me, I’m not backing up. I’m coming. I’m coming all night long.”
“I’m your mentor,” Woodley said. “You talking back to your mentor right now. I haven’t seen a person on the roster who can do it, and you can’t do it.”
The UFC 235 pay-per-view event is set to take place on Saturday, March 2, 2019 in at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The main card will air on pay-per-view at 10 p.m. ET. The preliminary card will air on ESPN at 8 p.m. ET and the TV network’s streaming service, ESPN +.
