This past weekend, Tyron Woodley was dominated by Gilbert Burns at UFC on ESPN 9. It was a dreadful performance from the former champion who never looked comfortable and lost all five rounds handily. Afterwards, Woodley’s longtime rival, Colby Covington, was quick to try and bury Woodley, saying “The Chosen One” is “washed up” and strictly fighting for a paycheck. But as quick as Covington was to throw shade on Woodley, it seems the UFC was even quicker with trying to finally set up that grudge match.
Speaking with ESPN on Wednesday, Woodley revealed that the UFC has already approached him about fighting Covington, and that he has once again agreed.
