The grudge match between Colby Covington and Tyron Woodley is heading in the right direction, but not done just yet. That is, according to Covington.
As MMA Fighting confirmed, the highly anticipated welterweight matchup between Covington and Woodley is targeted on Sept. 19, which originally was scheduled as UFC 253 but may be rebranded.
While verbal agreements are in place for the Woodley fight, Covington told What the Heck it’s too early to declare the fight done.
“As America’s champ, as the people’s champ, as Donald Trump’s favorite fighter, there’s a thing that Donald Trump patented: that’s ‘promises made, promises kept,” he said.
