Tag: Kamaru Usman

Tyron Woodley, Colby Covington & Kamaru Usman took their verbal battle to the land of Twitter this week regarding who will get the next title shot.

This has been an interesting situation considering that Covington was supposed to fight for the strap next. That welterweight title fight against Woodley got nixed after it was planned for January at UFC 233. Now, with Woodley being cleared  to return to full training there will likely be an answer as to who he’ll fight next. The belief is that he’ll fight at UFC 235 takes place on March 2.

The exchange of words between these fighters all started once Woodley blasted out the following tweet:

I asked my boss for one thing for Christmas! Didn’t see the bout agreement under my tree @ColbyCovMMA must have bitched out again! @ufc pic.twitter.com/dHmaRomFrT

Covington fired back with his own response by stating the UFC has never offered him a fight with Woodley. In fact, he thinks if Woodley fights Usman next then he’s “taking the easy way out.”

“Stop lying @TWooodley. You know @ufc never sent me anything. If they did, Id sign it live on @TMZ before the ink went dry dummy. Tell the truth. You have no power and you’re being a yes man. AGAIN. Go ahead and take the easy way out. Unlike you Im a man of my word.”

Past History

The UFC welterweight champ thinks the fact that Covington passed on the fight in September due to injury proves he doesn’t want the fight.

“You are a bitch! You were suppose to fight me in Sept and let Till nearly get killed. You are the easy way out. And talked all that shit and bitching out. Quit trying to call shots I’m the king. Go kiss the boss’ ass so I can kick your ass and retired the non sense.”

And this led to Covington responding by mocking Woodley for not being able to lock down any of the fights that he has pitched.

You are a bitch! You were suppose to fight me in Sept and let Till nearly get killed. You are the easy way out. And talked all that shit and bitching out. Quit trying to call shots I’m the king. Go kiss the boss’ ass so I can kick your ass and retired the non sense. https://t.co/abId2BQ13n

“Last shot I called got me to the White House. What shots have you ever called junior? GSP? Nate? Nick? Bisping? Nope. You don’t call shit. You love to cry a river to the media. But the moment @ufc says jump, you say how high! You’re no King @twooodley. You’re just a Cuck.”

Usman Speaks Up

Usman finally chimed in by bringing up how Covington turned down a fight with Woodley in the fall and him in the past on several separate occasions.

“Shut your bi&ch a$$ Up coward. You ran from me 5 different times and counting… #UFC228 was your shot and your bi&ch a$$ ran from that. Now go sit the F&ck down and watch grown men work @danawhite @AliAbdelaziz00 @seanshelby.”

UFC welterweight champ Tyron Woodley may not have his next title scheduled, but it’s clear he wants a piece of Cobly Covington.

Woodley is planning a return to the Octagon at March 2’s UFC 235 from Las Vegas. Coincidently, the pay-per-view card needs a main event. All signs point to “The Chosen One” defending his title against Kamaru Usman, as the challenger has already signed the bout agreement.

If Usman does jump the line and challenge Woodley for the welterweight strap, then it would seem the UFC missed out on a major grudge match. The heat that Covington has garnered on his way to the No. 1 contender role is unpresisented. The champ may not agree with Covington on much, but they do agree on one thing.

“We agree on one thing and one thing only…and that’s that we want to fight each other next,’ Covington said recently on “Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show.”

On Friday’s edition of his TMZ segment “The Hollywood Beatdown,” Tyron Woodley confirmed this mutual agreement with his nemesis (courtesy of MMANews.com):

“I want to whoop Colby’s ass to be honest… because Colby, they done built this dude up. They allowed him to annoy the universe talking all this terrible shit. He garbage,” Woodley said.”

There are many reasons for wanting to fight Covington, Woodley explains. However, one reason stands out more than others.

“I think there’s just way more to sell this fight,” Woodley said. “And if they’re not going to allow me to fight a guy like Conor or going up a weight class…I’ve never been allowed to go up a weight class to fight for a title. I’ve asked to do it a million times. Bisping…they let GSP come in and fight him.”

Usman feels like he has been routinely ducked by fighters on his way to the top of the division. Now he fears the champion is doing the same. Woodley, however, promises Usman will get his shot.

He just wants Covington first.

“I think that I’m going to end up fighting Usman anyway, Woodley said. “So let me fight Colby first. Let me get this bag right quick. Let me whoop his ass. Because I don’t want somebody else in the interim to get the chance to beat him. I’m not pressed on fighting Nick Diaz, or GSP, or nobody else. I’m that guy right now, and they want to fight me. So I’mma just sit up here and keep beating ass.”
