Derek Brunson is coming off a brutal first-round knockout loss to Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza at last month’s UFC on FOX event in Charlotte.

Prior to the setback, Brunson had scored back-to-back first-round knockout victories over Lyoto Machida and Dan Kelly respectively.

As for Colby Covington, the surging welterweight contender was last seen in action defeating former title challenger Demian Maia in a lopsided decision.

“Chaos” now has his sights set on current UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley, but “The Chosen One” says he has other plans.
