Colby out son, it’s me & you now. Accept the fight!!
— Darren Till (@darrentill2) July 19, 2018The Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight division has been in a state of flux after divisional prospect Darren Till took to social media on Thursday to claim that interim welterweight champion Colby Covington had pulled out of his highly anticipated title fight against incumbent champ Tyron Woodley.
Till’s social media post wasn’t necessarily taken seriously until ESPN’s Ariel Helwani reported hours later that the UFC was indeed looking to strip Covington of the interim belt and replace the brash American with Till for a title fight against Woodley.
