Media rumor: UFC targetting Covington vs. RDA for interim WW title at UFC 224

[benjo0101]

I hate them as much as the next guy but I see them as the fighters not being able to trust ZUFFA. How many times has Dana made a comment about somebody guaranteed a title shot then fucking them over? It seems interim titles are basically promise rings from the promotion. If they had a legit ranking system and clear path for all fighters to get a title shot I doubt we'd see many interims.

But where's the real clamp and why isn't he fighting. I feel the reason is... He doesn't want to fight anyone not a mega star

Colby might smother him. Khabib did.

I hope Covington somehow wins this so I can watch the shit storm go down on social media.

If Colby loses to a Brazilian in Rio we may get to watch him do the Magnana melt down though, also a good option.

I wonder if they'll ever give Woodley the shot at winning it back.

 

[Ted Williams' head]

This whole thing is bullshit. Woodley has been a great champ thus far, conducted himself with class, and was forced to fight two of the most awkward, dangerous specialists in his 3 fights since becoming champ, two guys who are almost impossible to look good against, and he came out all three times with his belt. And when he is legitimately injured they punish him, lol. Scumbags.

I wonder if they'll ever give Woodley the shot at winning it back.

It wouldn't surprise me if they try to strip him and keep him away from the title on the sly. Woodley doesn't "play ball" the way they like (i.e. bend over and take it in the ass). They don't like guys like Woodley who actually have integrity. It's no secret the UFC treats their athletes - even the champs and ATGs - like prostitutes: we're paying you, so you gotta do whatever we want, so just bite the pillow and deal with it.

Like that Metallica song goes... it's "Sad but True."
