At UFC 225, surging contender Colby ‘Chaos’ Covington pulled an upset defeating former UFC lightweight champion Rafael Dos Anjos to become the interim UFC welterweight champion. The interim belt solidifies Covington’s chance to fight former teammate and arch rival, current UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley.
The UFC cameras backstage captured a highly hyped Candace Covington having conversation with her mom. She addresses the haters and the unification bout against Woodley.
“There are still gonna be haters, ‘Oh well you didn’t do this right, you didn’t do that right. Now we got a belt, now what do you have to say? Now we’re coming after Woodley, there’s no stopping us now. Absolutely not,” she could be heard saying in the UFC 225’s ‘The Thrill and the Agony’ video. (via YouTube):
Champ Tyron Woodley seemed to have got triggered by these statements of Candace Covington and he took to Twitter to address them. Woodley claimed that Candace once tried to slide into his DMs, and he’s got the screenshots to prove it.
Woodley tweeted, “Bahahhahaha now “We” and “A” “Belt!! You guys have what we call the……“Boo Boo Belt” and nice try big sis on deleting the DMs you sent trying to slide and getting shut down. Don’t worry I screen shot before you did. I’ll bring the to the presser.” (via Twitter):
