Woodley should just fuck off and wait until RDA gets ready to fight him, enough of his bullshit, this idiot doesn't deserve anything, his last 3 fights were boring asf and he got a undeserved titleshot after waiting without fighting for 18 months, if he fights ANYONE other than RDA (after he runs through the snitch), UFC is a joke.

Nobody is avoiding Covington.
What is there to avoid about him?
Pretty good wrestling. No power. No submissions. Bad striking.
He hasn’t beaten anyone outside of an old empty gas tank Maia
tyron hasnt ducked anyone. he has tryed to fight larger ppv matches so he can make more money. but hes never ducked a contender, or the ufc hasnt let him
The ducks are evolving...Right now Tyron Woodley is pushing hard for a fight on the August UFC 227 card: https://www.lowkickmma.com/tyron-woodley-eyeing-return-at-upcoming-ufc-ppv/ This is just strange, because he's asking for an opponent right now, and demanding that specific card. I mean, why can't he wait 1 or 2 months more?
I honestly think this is an attempt to avoid fighting the #1 contender -- which will be the RDA-Covington winner at UFC 225, which is just 8 weeks earlier. It would be pretty much impossible for one of them to make it to UFC 227, partially because Woodley is asking for an opponent now. The UFC can't schedule either RDA or Covington to fight until that bout is concluded.
Right now Tyron is just trying to take easier fights, but that could backfire. If Darren Till is for real and beats Wonderboy, then Woodley would be 100% obligated to fight him at UFC 227...
lol @ your sig & av
Usman isn't ranked #10, he's #5 right now. Ponz is #10 and he definitely isn't getting a crack at Woodley.
Tiny details, tiny excuses, tiny man...I've discussed this at length -- the proposed bouts were insufficient.
#1 - TJ would NEVER make 125. TJ was trying to hand MM a loss -- he would be "accidentally overweight" at ~130 pounds, and then MM is forced to accept a 130 pound catchweight fight. But TJ would have cut down from 150 to 130, having targeted that weight to begin with. Now MM is backed into a corner, fighting at a clear disadvantage. He cares about his win streak.
#2 - This is proven because MM accepted this fight in principle, with the condition that TJ is guaranteed to make weight. In other words, if TJ didn't make the 125 championship weight, MM would get his show + win money and the bout is cancelled. The UFC wouldn't accept this, because they KNEW that TJ was highly likely to miss weight.
#3 - MM would probably fight TJ at 135 if the UFC payed him $3-4 million. That way the fight would be about the greatest UFC champion going up in weight, and not TJ trying to come down and bully MM. But the UFC won't do this.
Agreed. New way to duck is to try and get a fight when you know top competition is busy.
Covington is 13-1 with his sole loss coming in the UFC. Usman is also 13-1 but hasn't lost in the UFC. Covingtons only loss came from a guy that Usman beat. Colby got an interim title shot for beating a highly ranked Maia. Usman just beat a highly ranked Maia. Is Usman overrated? Because if he is, so is Colby.I didn't realize he was ranked so highly. I'm not sure I agree with that. I think Usman is more over-hyped that Darren Till.

After 3 of the worst fights in MMA history, I don't see how he deserves anything.He clearly still wants a $$ fight, and at this point, he deserves it
Is it just me or do you start feeling like fighters never fight when they take nearly a year off in between fights?
I feel like I haven't seen Woodley fight in years, but he's actually fought 5 times in the last 3.25 years which isn't terrible.
Oh, and to top it off, Fuck Tyron Woodley.
I don't care for Woodley, but this is true. Should he get a $$$ match, not yet. Conor, GSP, or Khabib would be that, but RDA/Colby winner first. Possibly Till/WB winner. Maybe not WB though because of how the fights were lackluster and they fought twice, so maybe a new fresh match up. Lawler needs a win or two to get back to a TS.tyron hasnt ducked anyone. he has tryed to fight larger ppv matches so he can make more money. but hes never ducked a contender, or the ufc hasnt let him

What makes it worse is that if Woodley is willing and able to fight in a couple of months then why are they having an interim title fight?Right now Tyron Woodley is pushing hard for a fight on the August UFC 227 card: https://www.lowkickmma.com/tyron-woodley-eyeing-return-at-upcoming-ufc-ppv/ This is just strange, because he's asking for an opponent right now, and demanding that specific card.
