UFC Fight Night 176: What has been said?

Woodley has warned Covington he is willing to hurt him illegally when the pair finally this weekend.

The welterweight clash is years in the making, with the two men first linked to one another when Woodley was champion in 2018.

Both men accused the other of rejecting the chance to make the fight, but the talking finally stops on September 19 at the UFC Apex.

However, ‘The Chosen One’ has taken the trash talking to the next level, by suggesting he will strike Covington in the groin if needs be.

“I agree with you, I will let my hands go,” Woodley said. “You guys and you fans telling me ‘let your hands go, let your hands go,’

“I need to let them go. You have that, you have my word I will let these hands go.

“I’ll let them go upside his head, body. I might even punch in the sack for the warning, bap. I will take the warning or even the point deduction, I feel good guys.”
