Colby Covington, Gilbert Burns offer to face Tyron Woodley on short notice

Leon Edwards may be out of the UFC’s March 21 event, but two high profile fighters are willing to step up on short notice to face Tyron Woodley.

Amid the chaos caused by the ongoing coronavirus outbreak, the UFC was forced to move their upcoming card in London to a new location that’s still to be determined. Following that announcement, several fighters confirmed that their bouts would be cancelled as a result of the upcoming travel ban issued by the United States.

Edwards, who lives in the United Kingdom, announced on Sunday that he would be forced out of his main event spot against Woodley.
