Great performance by Covington. 

What I really like about him is not only his pressure and persistence but how he really knows how to chamge positions and bail in grappling exchanges and takedowns

3-2 Covington.

Looks like it will be Wooldye vs Covington...I think Woodley basically murders him.

yes it does. Wrestling is the toughest martial art. The people who think its boring are the ones that can't do it.

Colby Covington beats Woodley handily in my opinion. I think Colby will champ for quite some time.

I doubt Woodley makes it to fight night. Course, I said RDA would pull too. Which he should've in retrospect ;)
