I believe they offered him Woodley and that he turned it down. I also believe that he needs to figure out that you don't get the fat paycheck just for challenging for the title. You get the fat check for attempting to defend it.
This is the same outfit that sued Nate Diaz which lead to him sitting out for 3 years.
Yes, and Dana knows it. Enter the BMF title to buy some time. Both Covington and Usman refuse to fight for anything less than what they think they deserve, and good for them I guess. No title fight on the horizon, so Dana had to do the BMF thing, which you all have to admit was very clever. Time to unionize.Regardless of whether they are popular or exciting, colby vs usman is the fight to make at 170.
Any other opponent is a waste of time.
Why would he possibly accept the Woodley fight...
How'd I miss this? What the hell did they sue Diaz for?
Why the fuck would he fight Woodley when he’s earned a title shot?
Woodley is dangerous and could probably take his head off with a single blow.
Woodley is a win that means nothing and potentially a shattered jaw with brain damage from a vicious right hand.
Why did he accept the Lawlor fight?
For a good payday and promise of a titleshot?Why did he accept the Lawlor fight?

According to Colby. How many interim belts he needs to win and defend for him to get a titleshot and get paid like the champ he is?he already passed up a titleshot at that point too though.
Is it really the case that in both cases, UFC offered more money to Colby to fight non-champions?
