However, though Woodley gave prop to Colby for his durability he was not impressed with the fight. Woodley stated:

“Colby, I thought, was winning the fight by a little small margin. I wasn’t impressed. I was really disgusted. I wanted to throw up, the fact that I lost to Usman. I was impressed by their durability, I was impressed by the fact that the kept doing it over and over again- it was kind of a teeter-tottering thing – but as far as I.Q., move your f*cking head maybe?”

Does Colby Covington Deserve all the Accolades for His FIght Against Usman?

Tyron Woodley also did not appreciate all the accolades Colby has been getting for fighting more than 2 rounds with a broken jaw. He then would go on to mention how many times has he fought and won the fight without being 100 percent. Woodley stated:

“I just don’t like it when people try to give unnecessary savage moments, ‘Oh he broke his jaw in the second round and kept fighting!’ Yeah, but you lost. How many times have I broken my foot against Kelvin Gastelum, or tore my shoulder against Demian Maia, or f*cked my hand up against Darren Till and still won.”

Colby Covington and Tyron Woodley have bad blood between them for years now. They have been scheduled to fight each other multiple times when Woodley was the champion. Hence it is not out of the line to see Woodley showing no mercy after Colby’s loss. Afterall, Colby has himself crossed the line on many occasions while trash-talking Tyron Woodley.

But one thing can be assured that Colby and Tyron will square off in the octagon in the near future. Both are coming off a loss against the champion and it’s very likely that they will fight each other in the title race.
