After years of trash talking, Colby Cuewington and Tyrone Woodley will face off Saturday night. Former teammates meet at the main event of the UFC Fight Night at the UFC Apex facility in Las Vegas.
Cuwington (15-2) took a seven-fight winning streak in his most recent fight, a title shot against bitter rival and welterweight champion Kamaru Usman. After a battle to be ranked among the best fights of the game in 2019, Cuewington will lose the fight with a fifth round knockout. He has been out of action for nine months and now looks set to be fit against former champion Woodley.
Woodley (19-5-1) lost the welterweight title to Usman by a lopside decision two fights ago. That loss was accompanied by another disappointing loss, with Gilbert Burns dismissing Woodley in May. Woodley has promised to let go of his hand against Covington after Woodley traded words through the media since it was Woodley’s time as champion.
The main card of the six-fight will be on ESPN at 8 p.m. Will begin at 5 p.m.
