4 years agoColby Covington (16-2) took care of business in Saturday night's main event to get him back into title talks. In almost five complete rounds of action, Covington landed 78 significant strikes but had a large strike count of 232. Chaos was also able to land three of his eight attempted takedowns on the night. Near the end of the fifth round, Covington stopped a Tyron Woodley takedown before taking control. While Covington was in control on the mat, Woodley began to yell out in pain about his rib. The referee was forced to stop the bout with 1:19 left in the fifth round. Depending on how Covington is matched up next will determine if he should be started. If he gets the next title shot, it's probably best to sit him if Usman is still welterweight king.--Matt Bricker - RotoBaller
