‘He was doing an act’ - Woodley explains why he was ‘hurt’ more by loss to Covington

There was a lot of bad blood between Colby Covington and Tyron Woodley as they entered their Fight Night headliner in September. The trash-talking spilled over after the fight through Covington’s controversial comments about the Black Lives Matter movement.

In a recent interview with TSN’s Aaron Bronsteter, the former UFC welterweight champion candidly spoke about how he was “hurt” by the loss.

A very candid Tyron Woodley explains why the loss to Colby Covington hurt more than some of his other losses and tells a story about predicting that Kamaru Usman would become champion one day, just not by defeating him.
