Colby Covington Offers ‘Slime Bag’ Tyron Woodley Shot at Redemption

Colby Covington is once again revisiting his bitter history with former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley and this time, he says it’s about “redemption.” Covington famously stopped Woodley via TKO due to injury in their September 2020 main event at UFC Fight Night 178. Woodley would fight just once more inside the Octagon before transitioning to boxing, where his struggles have continued. Last Friday at Kaseya Center, Woodley suffered a TKO loss to Anderson Silva, falling to 0-3 in professional boxing. Covington wasted no time weighing in.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Covington delivered a scathing monologue aimed directly at Woodley’s recent career trajectory.

“Damn, Woodley, how the mighty have fallen,” Covington said. “People like to say, ‘Don’t kick a man while he’s down.’ But personally, I say that’s the best time to kick a slime bag like you because you’re easier to reach.”

Covington mocked Woodley’s fall from championship contention to influencer-era boxing, questioning why the former champion hasn’t stepped away.

“You used to fight for championships. Now you’re out here selling the last of your dignity taking beatings from YouTubers and geriatrics,” Covington said. “You should be retired on a beach somewhere drinking mai tais. Instead, you’re face down, ass up in a boxing ring posing for Dude Wipes promos.”
