On Wednesday, Kenny Florian and Tyron Woodley were asked by their UFC Tonight co-host Karyn Bryant to break down how some UFC fighters would get their title shots in their respective divisions. Among those mentioned were Colby Covington and what his supposed path to face Woodley should be.
Woodley says Covington must first defeat Kamaru Usman, Darren Till, and Stephen Thompson, but also jokingly added in retired fighters such as Pat Miletich and Carlos Newton to the mix. Florian, on the other hand, was more logical with his take, saying that Covington should win over Till and “Wonderboy” first since Colby had “not fought high-level competition” prior to beating Demian Maia.
