Colby Covington says rival Tyron Woodley will throw the Jake Paul fight, suggesting that “he\u2019s just going to go out there and take a dive.”<\/p>\n

It was officially announced this week that Woodley and Paul will meet on August 28 in a boxing match on Showtime PPV<\/a>. It’s Woodley’s first fight since he was let go by the UFC following a four-fight losing skid, while for Paul this will be his fourth professional boxing match and his first since knocking out Woodley’s friend Ben Askren in April for Triller.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the upcoming Woodley vs. Paul fight, MMAjunkie.com<\/a> asked Covington his thoughts on the matchup, and “Chaos” didn’t mince words. As far as Covington is concerned, Woodley is in desperate need of money and he thinks he will take a dive.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithout a doubt, he\u2019s picking these fights with guys that are kind of toward the end of their career. Make no mistakes, Tyron has a great legacy. He was a world champion for a couple of times, but he\u2019s past his time. He\u2019s almost 40 years old now. He\u2019s 38, 39, and Jake\u2019s taking the right steps and taking the right fights with the right fighters that are kind of at the end of their careers and don\u2019t really have enough gas left in the tank, so it\u2019s sad,” Covington said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut they\u2019re doing this on purpose, and I really think Tyron is going out there to take a dive. I think he\u2019s broke. He needs the money. He\u2019s got mouths to feed. He\u2019s got a lot of alimony paychecks to pay. So I think he\u2019s just going to go out there and take a dive. It\u2019s going to be a circus, and we know boxing is the most corrupt sport in the world as it is. So this little side circus they\u2019re doing with Jake Paul, of course they\u2019re going to favor his way to make it a work.\u201d<\/p>\n
