After the defeat of Colby covington for Kamaru Usman in the main fight of UFC 245, the president of Ultimate, Dana White already seems to have plans for the North American for his next commitment. According to the 'boss', 'Chaos' could face the former welterweight champion Tyron woodley, who hasn't fought since being dethroned at the beginning of the year. The information was released by White in a press conference after the event.

“I would love to do the fight between him and (Tyron) Woodley. It would be a fun fight, but if he (Colby) actually broke his jaw, he won't be back anytime soon,” said the agent.
According to White, the American, however, may need some time away from the Octagon, as he had two major commitments in 2019.
“After a year like this, he’s going to have to rest, take care of himself for a while and see what he wants to do,” said Dana.
The loss to Usman could be difficult for Covington to digest. For months, the North American promoted the fight and, when it came to settling the score against a personal enemy, he ended up suffering a tough defeat with an unprecedented knockout at the end of the fifth round.
After the setback, Colby left the T-Mobile Arena, in Las Vegas, and, according to information from White, went straight to the hospital to be examined after a suspected fractured jaw due to a hard blow from the champion.
