Over the last few weeks, surging UFC welterweight contender Colby Covington has been ceaselessly campaigning for a title fight with UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley, lambasting him at every possible opportunity.<\/p>\n

On Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour<\/a>, Woodley fired back in a big way.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I\u2019m looking down the scope and I\u2019m looking through my sniper rifle, [Covington is] not in the crosshairs,\u201d Woodley said (via MMAFighting.com<\/a>). \u201cThere\u2019s so many other fighters that are right in that mix that I\u2019m looking at. There\u2019s guys who are fighting, maybe rematches and former champions from different divisions, and people who are really running through it. There\u2019s a lot of hungry guys, and he\u2019s in that category with guys like\u00a0<\/span>Darren Till,\u00a0<\/span>Kamaru Usman. He\u2019s right in there.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe difference between them and him: Those guys are doing it with their gloves. They\u2019re doing it with their actions. He\u2019s just thinking that he\u2019s supposed to talk his way into a title shot, and it\u2019s sad that our sport does that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you\u2019ve got a person who \u2013 he had 5,000 followers until he disrespected an entire country \u2013 he doesn\u2019t quite put himself on that same radar,\u201d Woodley continued. \u201cWhen you\u2019ve got a person who fabricates and makes up stories \u2014\u00a0<\/span>Chael Sonnen\u00a0<\/span>was good at it,\u00a0<\/span>Michael Bisping\u00a0<\/span>is good at it,\u00a0<\/span>Conor McGregor<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>is the best at it. If you\u2019re going to go that road, at least sound right. Don\u2019t on one hand be (saying), \u2018I\u2019m this tough guy,\u2019 and your script sound stupid.<\/p>\n

\u201cFans want to see blood and knockouts. They don\u2019t want to see some guy just take somebody down over and over again. So I just find it really corny. And yeah, it\u2019s worked, he talked himself into the Demian Maia and\u00a0<\/span>Dong Hyun Kim\u00a0<\/span>(fights), two guys I (beat). I wrote the book on Maia; he went out and checked it out at the library. Checked the book out, read it, and went out there and got bloodied by a jiu-jitsu guy. Now he thinks he\u2019s going to fight for a title. Sit down somewhere. He\u2019s embarrassing himself.\u201d<\/p>\n

Do you want to see Tyron Woodley and Colby Covington duke it out?<\/p>\n
