Can Tyron Woodley upset Colby Covington?

There’s a reason to believe that Woodley could upset Covington, however, the likelihood of that happening will boil down to if Woodley can maintain his cardio against a freak like Covington. The former interim Champion is a volume puncher, with credible wrestling pedigree to complement his fighting style. Covington can strike and take the fight on the ground. While Woodley is a threat likewise both on the feet and on the ground, he has looked out of touch in his last two fights, with many fight fans stating that Woodley is done.

However, the former Welterweight Champion wants to prove his critics wrong with a win over Colby Covington. Additionally, the bout has taken a different turn with Covington’s support towards Donald Trump, and Woodley raising his voice for the Black Lives Matter campaign playing a huge role in the leadup to this fight. Recently, Colby Covington posted a video with Donald Trump, where the latter can be seen supporting Covington ahead of his much-anaticiapted showdown against Tyron Woodley.
