White had previously told TSN Sports: "Tell me when Woodley does want to fight. This is always an issue with Woodley. We’re going to move on. That division is stacked. We’ve got a lot of good talent and whether Woodley fights or doesn’t, we’ll end up making a fight with some of the best guys in that division."
Usman, who is on a 13-fight win streak dating back to 2013 and has yet to look anything but dominant since making his UFC debut in 2015, took to Twitter on Wednesday night to claim that he had received confirmation of a title shot in March. https://twitter.com/USMAN84kg/status/1080670818705727488 Woodley, however, has rejected Usman's version of events and instead insisted that he would first fight former interim welterweight champion Colby Covington before turning his attention to 'The Nigerian Nightmare.' https://twitter.com/TWooodley/status/1080678255399600129 Next followed a lengthy back-and-forth in which Usman stood firm on his stance that a bout agreement had been signed by both sides while Woodley mocked his rival for previous comments he'd made. https://twitter.com/USMAN84kg/status/1080686711087222785 https://twitter.com/TWooodley/status/1080687589101686784 https://twitter.com/TWooodley/status/1080689611372818432 https://twitter.com/USMAN84kg/status/1080697137044877312 https://twitter.com/TWooodley/status/1080698343351697408 https://twitter.com/USMAN84kg/status/1080699122942951425 https://twitter.com/TWooodley/status/1080699706064330752 https://twitter.com/USMAN84kg/status/1080702385968857088 https://twitter.com/TWooodley/status/1080724960685940736Explore more on these topics:
