The future of the UFC welterweight division took some shape today when the promotion made a title fight between Tyron Woodley and Darren Till official for the main event of UFC 228 .

Although discussion of Till receiving a title shot came up this past week, the MMA community was still rather surprised to see the UFC move forward with the booking and reveal the plan to strip Covington.
