It’s pretty fair to say that Tyron Woodley did not like the UFC 245 main event between Kamaru Usman and Colby Covington.

The former welterweight champion said he was “disgusted” by what he saw from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on December 14.

*F*** both of them. I don’t really want to give them no love. I don’t want to give them no clout,” Woodley said on TMZ’s The Hollywood Beatdown.

“Kamaru won the fight, broke Colby’s jaw. Colby I thought was winning the fight by a little small margin,” he added. “Wasn’t impressed. I was really disgusted. I want to throw up, the fact that I lost to Usman.”

“The Nigerian Nightmare” Usman claimed Woodley’s title in March with a clear unanimous decision, but “The Chosen One” has claimed he just had an off night. He defended the belt four times, after a first-round knockout of Robbie Lawler in 2016.
