Top-ranked welterweight Gilbert Burns is rooting for Tyron Woodley against Colby Covington, but ‘Durinho’ says ‘T-Wood’ needs to be mentally prepared in the leadup to the bout.
Speaking to The Schmo in a recent interview (h/t The Body Lock’s Abhinav Kini) Burns, who beat Tyron Woodley via unanimous decision at UFC on ESPN 9, said Woodley will have the advantage inside the cage but advised the former UFC welterweight champion to be fully prepared for the mental warfare outside of the Octagon.
“I don’t know. It’s an intriguing matchup because Colby is not going to be that dangerous with the hands,” Burns said of the proposed welterweight matchup between Woodley and Covington.
