Dana White doesn’t usually play matchmaker after events, but following UFC 245 the president has said he would like to see Colby Covington vs. Tyron Woodley next.
Covington took on Kamaru Usman for the UFC welterweight championship in the main event of UFC 245. In a back and forth fight, Covington eventually lost by fifth round TKO. It was the former interim champion’s first loss in seven fights at welterweight. Meanwhile, Usman successfully defended his title for the first time on the night.
Talking post-fight after UFC 245 this past weekend, White said Covington vs. Woodley would be a fun fight, however Covington will have to heal up from the broken jaw he sustained in his fight with Usman first.
