Tyron Woodley is the only fighter on Colby Covington’s mind after his win over Demian Maia at UFC Fight Night 119 in Sao Paulo, Brazil last weekend.
Covington said he deserves — and expects to get — a shot at the UFC welterweight champion after handing Maia his second straight loss by unanimous decision. The only fighter he is considering as his next opponent is — you guessed it — Woodley, and he even has a time frame and location thought out: the first quarter of 2018 and St. Louis, Woodley’s hometown, respectively.
