An extended-standing heated feud involves a head subsequent week. The final card in Las Vegas earlier than UFC returns to Abu Dhabi with UFC 253 Israel Adesanya and Paulo Costa. Hatred enters Colby Covington and Tyron woodley dates again about 4 years.

At Apex, the 2 former teammates are locked in a cage with really quite a bit on the road. Not solely is it about bragging, however for all intents and functions the winner right here may need a shot on the champion subsequent. Anyone. But when Kamaru Usman overtakes Gilbert Burns, an fascinating rematch happens.

However earlier than that breaks down, there are issues which have occurred that should be checked out carefully. First, the height of Covid-19 which continues to happen in Florida. Tyron Woodley selected to do his battle camp not with RoufusSport, however with American Prime Group in Coconut Creek. The virus has affected greater than a handful of ATT fighters and trainers.

So hopefully Tyron Woodley will not grow to be one among them. Colby Covington, though he is now not at ATT, nonetheless trains in South Florida, so he is on that roulette wheel too. Subsequent comes a questionable act by “The chosen one”. Sure, that is the combating recreation, and the tough phrases are a part of the preparation. Particularly when you’ve two who hate one another as a lot as these two.

Nonetheless, Woodley’s phrases might come again to chew him right here. And he can simply arrange a Covington overturned end result request if he fails on the nineteenth. Tyron Woodley has mentioned, in essence, that he can be keen to just accept a warning and a factors deduction for hitting Colby Covington within the non-public. Even when he’s critical, it exhibits a premeditation to battle soiled if the chance presents itself. And it may be argued and argued efficiently.

Tyron Woodley wants this victory greater than Covington. He’s 6 years older than “Chaos” at 38 and has proven progressive indicators of slowing down and is on a 2 recreation dropping streak. And he seemed misplaced within the two unanimous choice losses. This would be the first time Colby Covington has returned to the Octagon since his loss to Kamaru Usman, and even in that battle his fuel tank was top-notch. The cardboard additionally has 4 extra as a consequence of making some fascinating returns within the cage. Donald Cerrone, Mackenzie Dern, Johnny Walker and Khamzat Chimaev.
