It appears that things are getting a bit scrambled atop the UFC’s 170-pound division. But that doesn’t mean that the fighters aren’t trying to create solutions of their own.<\/p>\n
After Kamaru Usman’s big win over Rafael Dos Anjos at The Ultimate Fighter 28 Finale<\/a>, he was already back to working on his next fight as he announced that he had been offered Colby Covington for sometime in January<\/a>.<\/p>\n Covington’s last fight also came against Dos Anjos whom he defeated via unanimous decision to become the interim welterweight champion. Since that time and more specifically when the undisputed champion Tyron Woodley’s defended his title at UFC 228, it has still yet to be clarified as to whether or not Covington remains the interim champion.<\/p>\n Regardless, Woodley, who is recovering from hand surgery<\/a>, claims that he will indeed face Covington next<\/a>.<\/p>\n However, according to UFC President Dana White on a recent\u00a0TSN<\/a>\u00a0appearance, his patience appears to be wearing thin with his champion which could lead to\u00a0another\u00a0<\/em>interim title.<\/p>\n \u201cTell me when Woodley does want to fight. This is always an issue with Woodley,\u201d White said. \u201cWe\u2019re going to move on. That division is stacked. We\u2019ve got a lot of good talent and whether Woodley fights or doesn\u2019t, we\u2019ll end up making a fight with some of the best guys in that division. [There] Could be [an interim title].”<\/em><\/p>\n With Woodley and Covington seemingly waiting for one another to be ready and the UFC lacking patience, once their newest welterweight acquisition in Ben Askren caught wind of the rumblings, he took aim at Usman.<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BrGMbTqlPDm\/<\/p>\n I know @ColbyCovMMA<\/a> is a little bitch, but I know a guy who isn\u2019t \u261d\ufe0f https:\/\/t.co\/b1QwNvvKqP<\/a><\/p>\n — Funky (@Benaskren) December 7, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
