Former interim champion Colby Covington is healthy and ready to compete, but apparently UFC brass have soured on him and decided to reward the surging Usman. What does all of this mean? Here are four takeaways.

Only casuals wanted to see Colby fight for the belt. He isn't a serious title contender, he's just a loudmouth.
Was hoping to see Colby pound Woodley
Jones and Woodley retain belts 100%
Colby would have gone for a March 2nd fight.
Think about this…. how does Ben Askren fall into this
They can make a story line off of colby vs usman or woodley. Thats why there doing this
SOOOOO Colby….. has a belt forrrrrr whattttttš¤
Woodley gets injured in camp and Jones pops super hot again.
They had enough political/racial controversy in Khabib vs Conor. They don't need Colby and Woodley going at it. Its bad for they're public image and business.
So… Ben Askren Vs Colby?
