UFC President Dana White has confirmed that Colby Covington signed a contract to fight former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley, adding that the promotion is waiting on Woodley to sign and make the bout official.<\/p>\n

Woodley and Covington have been engaged in a heated war of words since the height of Woodley’s reign as the UFC welterweight champion. They’ve been linked to fights several times over the years, but as of yet, have not stepped into the cage together.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, however, Covington shared a photo of a signed bout agreement<\/a> for a fight with Woodley on Instagram\u2014a clear indication that the matchup is coming closer to fruition.<\/p>\n
