Tyron Woodley and his coach Din Thomas want Colby Covington next rather than Leon Edwards.
Woodley and Edwards were set to collide in the UFC London headliner this past weekend. However, the card was postponed because of government restrictions both in the United Kingdom and the United States due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Before it was postponed, the card was set to relocate to the U.S. with Covington offering to step in and face Woodley on short notice. Given the pair’s heated history together, it was a fight many wanted to see, even more so than Woodley vs. Edwards. In the end, it never came to fruition.
While UFC president Dana White has plans on rescheduling all the postponed fights, Thomas revealed how him and Woodley would prefer to face Covington next.
“I mean it’s not really up to Tyron right now, I mean he’s not the champ anymore, so unfortunately he doesn’t any leverage to pick his opponents,” Thomas said in a recent interview (via BJ Penn). “I mean not that he did when he was champ but he’s got even less now. We obviously want Colby. I think that’s the fight more fans want to see but if Dana says it’s Leon [Edwards] then it’s got to be Leon.
“There’s no need to be difficult, Tyron believes in himself, I believe in Tyron, he’s going to win either way. If it has to be Leon then it has to be Leon, but we want Colby.”
Thomas recently departed American Top Team which means he doesn’t have to deal with Covington’s antics anymore. But as far as he is concerned, he only wants the fight because Woodley does — he personally doesn’t care about Covington at all.
“It still doesn’t mean anything to me,” Thomas said. “This is more just me getting my homeboy’s back because I know Tyron has a problem with him and he really wants to fight him. Leon is not a fight that he wanted but Colby is a fight that he wants, so it’s just me supporting my man and what he wants.
“For me it doesn’t matter, I don’t have any ill-will towards Colby, I don’t care about Colby. I don’t think about Colby one second other than when someone asks me about him. I don’t care whether Colby wins, loses, wins, or dies, it doesn’t matter to me.”

UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya has called for people to remain strong amid the current global situation.
The coronavirus pandemic has halted life as we know it throughout the world with many confined to their homes in a bid to maintain social distancing and prevent the spread of the virus.
While some can work from home or are being paid their salaries, others have been laid off or have no certainties about the future. Overall, it is a challenging time for everyone and “The Last Stylebender” offered an encouraging message to those who may be struggling at the moment:
“I’ll keep this short and sweet,” Adesanya said (via MMA Junkie). “This next four weeks is going to make and break some people. Some people are going to come out of this with drinking problems, drug problems, domestics, broken families. Or some people are going to come out of this with better relationships, severing all beef with family members and friends, cooking skills, better brains, healthier bodies, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
“I’m not your (expletive) guru. I’m not nobody but the UFC champion. People carry some weight. Sometimes what I say makes the news. Stay strong because only the strong can survive this (expletive).”
You can watch the video below:
As things stand, there are over 450,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus worldwide with 20,500+ deaths.
