Tyron Woodley: ‘Complete dumbass’ Colby Covington has himself to blame for missed title shots

Former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley says Colby Covington only has himself to blame for missing out on a welterweight title shot.

Covington won the interim UFC welterweight title last June by defeating Rafael dos Anjos by decision, however since then “Chaos” has been stripped of his title, and only fought once against Robbie Lawler last month. It looked likely he would get a shot at current champ Kamaru Usman at UFC 244 in November, but now that fight looks dead and gone.

Talking during a fan Q&A at the Rogers Arena on Friday, Woodley said it was Covington who talked himself out of three title fights.
