Covington om Woodley-matchen: Den blir av 2018, behöver bara lite tid att återhämta mig

I onsdags gick Darren till ut med att interim mästaren Colby Covington var skadad och passade samtidigt på att utmana Woodley.

Convington tog direkt upp detta när han gästade Submission Radio kort därefter. Enligt Convington behöver han lite tid för att läka och återhämta sig, men att en match mot Woodley fortfarande är satt att gå under nästa år.

“We’re looking at doing it in November, December. You know, I need a little time off, I need to do a little recovering,”

“I’m only human, man, I gotta get a little vacation. I just can’t keep running my body through the ground, going through training camps. You have to be strategic, and you know, November, December works for me. I had little health issues after my fight, so I’m getting those taken care of and by the year’s end I will unify my belt and retire Tyron Woodley for good.”

Convington fortsätter.

“I think the storyline that makes the most sense, this is the biggest fight that the UFC’s gonna make this year,”

“There’s still questions regarding when Conor McGregor’s coming back, who knows when he’s coming back. They don’t know when Daniel Cormier is gonna fight again because he’s got a broken hand. So, this is the biggest fight that UFC can serve.”

“So, if you wanna serve the biggest fight between Colby ‘Chaos’ Covington and TyQuil Woodley, they need to serve it up at the world’s most iconic arena, and that’s Madison Square Garden in Manhattan New York. So, that makes the most sense for the fight.”

Covington har länge suktat efter en match mot Woodley, även innan han blev interim-mästare och har en plan b i fall nu allt nu av förmodan bara rinner ut i sanden.

“If Tyron Woodley gets cold feet, which I think he will, deep down inside he knows what I used to do to him, he knows I took his soul at American Top Team,”

“So, if he gets cold feet and he backs out, then I guess the perfect storyline that make sense for the pay-per-view is I guess Toronto against that little syrup sucker Georges St-Pierre.”

“He’s been seeing aliens, he’s been doing all kinds of things. Who knows what’s going on in that guy’s head. But he has expressed interest in wanting another fight, so if TyQuil can’t come together and get his grip together to sign a contract, then I guess I’m going after GSP in Canada and I’m gonna go north of the border and I’m gonna be going and getting some poontang over there. He’s getting poutine, I’m getting poontang.”

När Woodley kommer tillbaka är oklart då han fortfarande rehabiliterar sin axel sen operationen i december.
