Colby Covington didn’t get his title shot against Tyron Woodley at UFC 235. However, the upside is he doesn’t see the champion losing the belt to Kamaru Usman . Usman (14-1 MMA, 9-0 UFC) swooped in and took the welterweight title shot with Woodley (19-3-1 MMA, 9-2-1 UFC) that Covington (14-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC) had seemingly locked up when he won the interim belt in June. Covington is understandably upset with the situation and has voiced his frustration with harsh criticism of the UFC brass, specifically company president Dana White. Covington said he won’t accept anything less than a title shot going forward, and he expects Woodley to be the one holding it when that happens.
