Today, Woodley told MMAjunkie Radio as long as a thumb injury sustained early in his win over Till gets the thumbs up from a doctor or two, he’d gladly headline the card.

“I’ve got an MRI on my thumb and I’m sending it for a second opinion,” Woodley said. “If I’m good, then I have no issue with fighting in November. The more I fight, the better rhythm I get in the swing of things. Obviously, I just fought, so I’m still in phenomenal shape. I’ve been eating pancakes, shrimp fried rice, brownies – taking a week and eating some bullcrap.

“… It all depends on how severe my thumb injury is. I dislocated it in the first round punching him in the back of the head. I thought it was just jammed.”

Woodley and Covington have been verbally sparring for a while now, so the grudge match would be entertaining in the buildup. But Woodley also believes Covington would probably be in trouble against him.

“Think about it: I was going to fight Nate Diaz with a torn labrum,” Woodley said. “He’s not going to try to wrestle me. The only thing he does better than me is dress horribly and wear terrible hats. Outside of that, that’s it. That’s his only advantage – and having extremely corny trash talk.”

Tyrone vs Qweefintgton

For as much crap as Colby rightfully gets for his trash-talk, "queefington" is easily one of the dumbest things any fighter has ever said.

If I didn't know who said it, I would guess it was Tito or Ferguson.

The OP's outstanding Grappler Baki avatar goes well with the announcement of one of the biggest, most exciting fights in MMA POSSIBLY happening in November.

Also, if this topic is any indication, Tyron Woodley will be a huge favorite, and I will gladly bet big on Colby.

This might be a ppv worth buying

 

[Mysterio]

I'm loving this new gangsta Woodley who just wanna beat dat ass and don't give a fuck

 

[Jackonfire]

Of course he will. He's already shown that he'll fight often as champ. Currently has the most title defenses out of all the champs.

 

[Deleted member 549255]

Woodley is the best champion in the UFC right now (4 defenses).

So everybody likes Woodley now? lol Sherdog opinion changes with the wind.
