Colby Covington blocked by multiple UFC fighters, promises to rip Tyron Woodley’s ‘arms off’
Colby Covington on Tyron Woodley: “I’m gonna rip both his arms off and mount them on my wall next to the belt”.
Top-three UFC welterweight contender Colby Covington isn’t exactly the most popular fighter on the roster.
After insulting the entire country of Brazil at UFC Sao Paulo and getting into a physical altercation with former heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum outside a hotel in Australia, Covington has found himself blocked by at least three UFC fighters.
The UFC heel posted a screenshot on Twitter to show that he has been blocked by Werdum, Rafael dos Anjos, and Tyron Woodley.
According to Covington, ‘the chaos sensation is sweeping the world’.

Covington then promised to rip Woodley’s arms off and mount them on his wall, next to his future UFC welterweight title.
Tyrone @TWooodley will have a real Injury after we fight. I’m gonna rip both his arms off and mount them on my wall next to the belt. Just out of reach, because mark my words! He's never touching @ufc gold again. @danawhite @seanshelby https://t.co/eia8GBxdEa

The 29-year-old is on a five-fight win streak and recently beat two-time title challenger Demian Maia via unanimous decision at UFC Fight Night 119. That’s when Covington, a former NCAA Division I wrestler, called Brazil a ‘dump’ in front of Maia’s home crowd at Ginásio do Ibirapuera in Sao Paulo.
Covington catapulted to No. 3 in the official UFC welterweight rankings and is desperately campaigning for a title shot against Woodley.
