Who’s next for Tyron Woodley? Whoever the UFC wants, Woodley said following UFC 228 — even if it’s “embarrassment” Colby Covington.
Woodley defeated Darren Till by second-round submission in the main event Saturday night in Dallas to retain the UFC welterweight title. Covington should have been the opponent on the card, since he won the interim belt at UFC 225 in June. But Covington wouldn’t have been ready in time due to sinus surgery.
So, Woodley fought and beat Till instead. Covington has been stripped of the interim belt.
