Tyron Woodley says Colby Covington ‘must have b*itched out again’

UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley says he was hoping to find a contract for a fight with Colby Covington under his Christmas tree this year, but apparently, he didn’t get his wish.

Speaking on Twitter on Wednesday, the welterweight champion took a shot at Covington, accusing the top welterweight contender of “b*tching out.”

I asked my boss for one thing for Christmas! Didn’t see the bout agreement under my tree @ColbyCovMMA must have bitched out again! @ufc pic.twitter.com/dHmaRomFrT

“I asked my boss for one thing for Christmas,” Woodley wrote. “Didn’t see the bout agreement under my tree, [Colby Covington] must have bitched out again!”

While Tyron Woodley seems to doubt that Colby Covington wants to fight him, Covington himself weaves a different story. He says he’s accepted a fight with Woodley on numerous occasions. 

“I was offered Tyron Woodley in November MSG, I accepted, he couldn’t fight there,” Covington explained on a recent episode of BJPENN Radio. “All of the sudden he had a thumb injury so we waited it out. Then they said, ‘Okay, January 26, [the UFC 233] pay-per-view in Anaheim versus Woodley.’ I said, ‘Yes, let’s unify the belt, it’s time. This is the ball-buster main event that I built up through the years. Let’s go do it.’ And you know, that’s all I’ve heard, I haven’t heard anything else from them, just being promised Anaheim and now that’s where we’re at.”
