Colby Covington may be the UFC interim welterweight titleholder, but he is not getting the next shot at current champion Tyron Woodley. Instead, “The Chosen One” will be facing number two-ranked contender Darren Till at UFC 228 on September 8th.
The decision was made on Tuesday, after it was revealed that Covington would be unable to fight on the said date due to a sinus condition, and these developments have caused frustration within his team.
“I’m pretty bummed about it,” former UFC fighter and Covington’s coach Mike Brown told MMA Fighting.
