I\u2019m one of these guys, when I just see a fight like this, I want to see Usman fight now. We\u2019ll see what happens, though I\u2019m not saying that\u2019s the case. Sure [it\u2019s possible].<\/p>\n<p id=\"Uo3rSK\">While the UFC boss seems to be interested in a Kamaru Usman vs. Tyron Woodley fight, however, Woodley says he is most certainly fighting his arch rival Covington next.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am fighting \u2018Queefington\u2019,\u201d Woodley said during an Instagram Live session (transcript via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmanytt.com\/exclusive\/tyron-woodley-i-am-fighting-colby-covington-hopefully-sooner-than-later\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MMANytt<\/a>). \u201cWhen I\u2019m fighting his little busted butt I don\u2019t know. Hopefully sooner than later cause I know you all sick and tired of this dumb goof-ass videos that nobody\u2019s f\u2013king with, that don\u2019t nobody think is funny, besides his dumb ass. I know you all tired of him so sooner than you know, he will be getting that ass whooped and then you won\u2019t have to worry about him no more.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause after I beat his ass, I promise you with everything I believe in, everything I love, everything I ride for, he will be very, very unlikely to want to talk s\u2013t again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This comment from Tyron Woodley lines up with a recent comment from Colby Covington, who claimed <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/ufc\/colby-covington-says-he-will-not-accept-anything-less-than-a-fight-for-the-undisputed-belt\/\">it&#8217;s title fight or bust for him.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m big into being a man of my word and promises made, promises kept.
