Colby Covington was expected to fight Tyron Woodley for the welterweight title prior to last weekend\u2019s UFC 235 event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Colby\u2019s \u201cpromised\u201d title shot went to Kamaru Usman instead, and \u201cThe Nigerian Nightmare\u201d went on to dominate Woodley for all five rounds to\u00a0take\u00a0home\u00a0the\u00a0strap.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although it was an impressive performance by Usman, Covington believes Woodley is focused on too many things outside of fighting to be a champion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe\u2019s been one foot in for the last couple years,\u201d Covington said to Bloody Elbow<\/a>. \u201cHe\u2019s got so much on his plate, he\u2019s out here trying to rap albums, he\u2019s trying to do acting, he\u2019s trying to do broadcasting \u2014 he sucks at all of them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frankly, Covington doesn’t believe Woodley even wants to fight anymore following his lopsided loss to Usman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHis career is over,\u201d Covington said. \u201cHe\u2019s made all his money, he\u2019s cashed out, he\u2019s not a real fighter anymore. He doesn\u2019t want to be here to make his division great again like myself. That was already a broken man (in the cage against Usman).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe\u2019s not the type of guy when things get tough he\u2019s gonna come back stronger,\u201d ‘Chaos’ later added. \u201cHe\u2019s not resilient; something bad comes to him, he doesn\u2019t know how to fight back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For now, it appears that Tyron Woodley will have to work his way back up to a title shot as Colby Covington was recently told he is getting the next crack at the belt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Covington believes he is the only logical choice to fight for the belt next. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cObviously, I\u2019m the biggest draw in this division, I\u2019m the real world champion, and I\u2019m gonna fight for the title next,\u201d Covington explained. \u201cIt\u2019s gonna be me and Snoozeman, and Woodley\u2019s the odd man out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
