The bitter rivalry between Colby Covington and Tyron Woodley dominated the conversation around the UFC’s welterweight division for the better part of 2018. Now it may not ever get a chance to be settled inside the cage.
Woodley dropped his UFC welterweight title last month with a one-sided upset loss to Kamaru Usman at UFC 235. Covington, the former interim welterweight champion, was expected to face the winner of Usman vs. Woodley and is now tentatively slotted into a matchup against Usman, which is likely to take place sometime in the summer.
