After being deprived of a shot at UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley, former interim welterweight champion Colby Covington is not happy with the UFC.<\/p>\n
In fact, the streaking wrestling specialist is so frustrated that he’s dared UFC President Dana White to release him from his UFC contract.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cLet\u2019s be honest\u2026 Dana, you don\u2019t got the balls to release me,\u201d Covington told MMA Fighting<\/a> recently. \u201cIf you\u2019re saying all of this stuff to the media, then release me. But you ain\u2019t got the balls. You know I\u2019m too valuable.<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019re not going to do it,” he continued. “They realize my value now. They realize how valuable I am. They know that I sell. They know that every single fighter in the welterweight division wants to fight me. They know that I\u2019m the draw right now at welterweight. I made this division relevant. The only reason people care about Woodley and care about Usman is because they say my name. I\u2019m the relevant one in the division. No one cares about anybody else. They just want to see me fight anybody, it doesn\u2019t matter who it is. So they\u2019re screwing the fans over, they\u2019re screwing the people, and the people are who make their business run. So it\u2019s a big f*ck you to the fans.\u201d<\/p>\n Colby Covington continued his tirade against Dana White on Twitter, criticizing the UFC boss for failing to deliver on the title shot he was promised.<\/p>\n .@danawhite<\/a> REAL MEN aren\u2019t promise makers, they\u2019re promise keepers. pic.twitter.com\/JNp8C7SlKl<\/a><\/p>\n — Colby Covington (@ColbyCovMMA) January 8, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
