Dana White on welterweight title hold-up: ‘When is Woodley ready to fight anybody ever?’

TORONTO — There are a lot of people who want to know when Tyron Woodley’s next title defense will be.

The UFC president spoke about the welterweight championship situation during a media scrum Friday at the ceremonial weigh-ins for UFC 231 at Scotiabank Arena and when asked who was primarily responsible for the division title currently being on hold, he put forth just one name.

“Woodley,” White said. “When is Woodley ready to fight anybody ever?”

Woodley’s last title defense, a second-round submission win over Darren Till at UFC 228, occurred just three months ago, but minor injuries have kept him on the shelf and out of a presumed matchup with rival Colby Covington.
