Welterweight champion Tyron Woodley is coming off of an impressive second-round submission victory over Darren Till at UFC 228 and now he is supposed to defend his welterweight title against the top contender Colby Covington or another welterweight contender Kamaru Usman.
The rivalry between both the fighters is only increasing with each passing day, with both fighters taking a shot at each other via social media or mainstream MMA media. But in between the rivalry between Colby and Woodley, Kamaru Usman has repeatedly started attacking a shot at Champion Tyron Woodley.
Usman came out Wednesday on social media and said the fight was a “done deal,” Woodley quickly responded and clarified:
It’s a done deal and has been signed. March 2019 I will be the New WW Champion 👊🏾💪🏾🇳🇬 #AndNew

However, this time Woodley made it clear that Usman is on his radar, but he will deal with No. 2 ranked contender Colby Covington first.
Bruh…..you are coming off stupid and I don’t do Twitter Beef you got my line. But what you don’t have is a damn agreement signed by me. Now quit lying before I lose respect for you. I said I will fight both of you. The order is to be determined. Chill, take a number & fall back https://t.co/SdcYYuu46m

Usman than said that Dana White himself is frustrated with Woodley and Covington and said that Dana White had said about Usman fighting for the title at UFC 235.
I’m coming off stupid…? The order has been determined by the Boss himself @danawhite now like you said you’re the only one who hasn’t signed. I wonder what that means 👀👀🤔🤔 https://t.co/cSeKcCqgpK

Now Woodley fired back and said that these tricks aren’t Umsan’s style and he can’t talk his way into a title shot.
That means you are a liar. You just said it was signed and a done deal right? You and Ali forging my signature? I love how “The Bossman” and you are so close. 6 seconds ago you were getting shit on for being 30%. Stop this isn’t your style 🤚🏽 coming off wack https://t.co/Hd4ZJ22SZc
