Tyron Woodley is on a two-fight losing skid heading into his fight against Colby Covington this weekend. However, that doesn’t mean the former interim champ will leave any stone unturned to prepare for the former champ. Ahead of the fight, “Chaos” revealed what he will be most cautious of when stepping into the Octagon against Woodley.
Apart from being a former UFC welterweight champion, Woodley has also tried his hands at rapping. He has even joined hands with Wiz Khalifa in the past. However, the alternate profession has also affected Woodley’s MMA career, or so do many believe. Middleweight champ Israel Adesanya, earlier this year, noted that Woodley had dipped his fingers into more stuff than he can handle.
Woodley’s next opponent, Colby Covington also mocked the “The Chosen One” when he discussed their upcoming fight. Talking to UFC’s Megan Olivi, Covington said that his biggest fear is that Woodley starts rapping in the Octagon.

“The biggest thing that I have to be cautious with Tyron Woodley inside the octagon is if he starts rapping in there. Let me just give you a piece of advice Megan, if he starts doing that thing, just run away from the building,” Covington said.
“I’m sorry if that happens to me I’m gonna be so close to him inside the octagon I’m not gonna be able to get away from my eardrums to pop. So just a piece of advice if he starts doing that whack ass rapping, just run away from the building Megan,” he added.
Colby Covington has been relatively quiet in the build-up to the Tyron Woodley fight
Apart from the occasional verbal jibe, the former American Top Team member has been comparing quiet heading into the fight. In his previous bookings, Covington made it a habit of giving over the top statements before the fight. He lived up to his pro-wrestling heel kind of a personality.
Whatever may be the reason, we haven’t seen the same Covington on the mic heading into this fight. That seems even more surprising when we look at the history between the two. Former teammates and sparring partners, Covington and Woodley have been linked to each other for more than two years. However, due to something or the other, the fight couldn’t come to fruition.
Now that the two are set to settle the score inside the Octagon, there is not much that is left to be said or done. All that matters is who gets his hands raised at the end of the fight.
