Till claims Woodley turned down title challenge

07/19/2018

The UFC wanted to book welterweight champion Tyron Woodley vs. interim champ Coly Covington at UFC 228 on September 8; however, Covington is apparently not available so a title challenge from Darren Hill is reportedly in the works. And now Till says Woodley won't take that one. “I’ve been offered Tyron Woodley and he turned the fight down,” said Till to Ken Pishna for MMA Weekly. “I’m not too bothered about it, but I get a feeling that [Woodley] thinks that nobody is worthy of fighting him for the title. I think he just wants to hold onto the belt for as long as he can. ... It’s a weird one, but I’m just waiting to see what happens.”
