Stephen Thompson is as confused as anyone else when it comes to the booking of Rafael dos Anjos vs. Colby Covington for the UFC interim welterweight title at UFC 225.
Thompson, who meets Darren Till in a pivotal bout at UFC Fight Night 130 next weekend in Liverpool, doesn’t think dos Anjos and Covington’s June co-main event in Chicago should be contested for a belt. Current champ Tyron Woodley is still recovering from a shoulder injury (and surgery) he suffered in his most recent title defense last July, but he’s expected to return to action within a few months.
