“Always My Little B***h”: Colby Covington Reacts to Tyron Woodley’s Victory at RAF
Colby Covington was happy for Tyron Woodley who finally secred a win after years, but naturally he couldn't help himself from taking shots at Woodley while praising him.
Colby Covington and Tyron Woodley may no longer share an active roster under the UFC banner, but their bitter rivalry is apparently eternal. Fresh off Tyron Woodley securing his first combat sports victory in eight years with a thrilling comeback win over Joaquin Buckley at Real American Freestyle (RAF) 12 in Cleveland, Covington couldn't resist chiming in with some good old-fashioned disrespect.
Woodley pulled off a stunning 14-8 victory after overcoming a steep 8-1 deficit, snapping a lengthy win drought that stretched back to 2018. While most of the MMA community acknowledged the former UFC Welterweight Champion’s grit, "Chaos" took a completely different approach when reacting to the milestone.
Covington praises Woodley
True to form, Covington delivered a characteristic rant that blended praise with insults, making sure to remind everyone of their storied history.
"I was happy for Tyron Woodley, you know," Covington said via SubmissionRadio. "Even though there'll always be a feud and he'll always be my little bi**h, but, you know, I was happy that he was able to get his hand raised and, you know, the first time in eight years."
The pair famously squared off inside the Octagon back in September 2020, where Covington picked up a lopsided fifth-round technical knockout win before turning up the heat on a post-fight war of words that has lasted years. Never one to let bygones be bygones, Covington made it clear he would gladly step back into competition with his old rival if given the chance.
"If he wants to start another losing streak, he can come back over here and get his a*s whooped again," Covington continued. "You know, I'll never not want to beat the f*ck out of Tyron Woodley. The guy's a clown."
While Woodley continues testing the waters in freestyle wrestling leagues like RAF, with upcoming matchups looming on the calendar, Covington remains fixated on his own career path. Still, as long as both men are breathing and talking into microphones, it's safe to say this feud is never truly going away.
