The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has locked down a title fight between reigning UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley and rising challenger Darren Till. Consequently, interim champion Colby Covington has been left in the dust. Now fighters are coming forward with their thoughts on the matter.
Woodley and Till are set to face off in the main event of UFC 228 on Sept. 8 in Dallas, Texas. As a result, Colby Covington is set to be stripped of his title at the beginning of the fight.
Taking to Twitter, many fighters have since offered their thoughts on the matter. Check it out below.
If Till gets this Title fight then my “missing weight” prediction will come true. If anyone thinks it’s just a few pounds, then you’ve never cut weight. Not making weight proves the rewards being much greater than the risk. In all there should be harsher punishments not gifts.
