UFC welterweight contender Tyron Woodley issued a statement following his fifth-round TKO loss to Colby Covington at UFC Vegas 11.<\/p>\n

Woodley was dominated by Covington throughout the bout and was on his way to losing a clear unanimous decision. But early in the fifth round Woodley verbally submitted due to an apparent rib injury, handing Covington the TKO win.<\/p>\n

Following the event, Woodley released a statement about the loss. Check it out.<\/p>\n

\u201cI appreciate you guys, love you guys. It didn\u2019t go the way I wanted guys. Last person I wanted to lose to,” Woodley said (via MMAFighting.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know what the f*ck happened. It happened. Gotta dust it off, shake the sh*t off and find a way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Woodley later released an image of his broken ribs which was shared by Ariel Helwani<\/a>.<\/p>\n
