Earlier this week, the UFC officially announced that former lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos would be taking on outspoken welterweight contender Colby Covington at UFC 224 for the interim welterweight championship. It’s a fight that has been in the works for a while now but the interim belt being on the line is slightly puzzling as undisputed welterweight champion Tyron Woodley fought as recently as last July but “The Chosen One” isn’t letting that get to him.
Speaking with MMA Tonight on SiriusXM Rush, Woodley addressed the recently announced fight, saying that he wasn’t bothered by the creation on the interim title because everyone knows who the real champion is and it’s not the person walking around with the “boo boo belt.
