The UFC Welterweight Championship picture is a total s
hit show.
Tyron Woodley
[19-3-1 MMA, 9-2-1 UFC] won the belt in July 2016 and defended it 3 times up to
July 2017. Then he got injured, so the UFC set up an interim title fight in June 2018, which
saw
Colby Covington [14-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC] beat
Rafael Dos Anjos [28-11 MMA, 17-9 UFC].
Then
Woodley came back in September 2018, but instead of fighting
Covington
to unify the belts, the UFC stripped
Covington of his belt and had
Woodley fight
Darren Till, whom he beat.
Now, the UFC has scheduled
Woodley to defend his belt against
Kamaru Usman
[14-1 MMA, 9-0 UFC] at
UFC 235 on March 2nd in Las Vegas.
Dana White promised
Covington the next fight with
Woodley, but renigged on the offer, and
Covington is PISSED.
They did
Covington super dirty. He's demanding either a title shot or his release.
