The great victory of Colby covington about Tyron woodley in the main fight of UFC Las Vegas 11, held this Saturday (19), raised a big question: what is the next step for the athlete?

“If I don't get a title fight, which I deserve more than anyone else, I want the 'best friends becoming enemies' fight. He's been saying, 'I'm going to kick your ass.' All good. We will see. Come see me in the octagon. If you're tough, walk the talk. He will hide and go after the Nate diaz. He's looking for easy fights. He knows I'm going to expose him, like Woodley tonight,” said the fighter.
Current number two in the category's ranking, Colby surprised by mentioning another name for his next appointment. Upon learning of the possible return of Nick Diaz to the Octagon, 'Caos' confirmed its interest in 'welcoming' the 'bad-boy'.
“I would love to face Nick Diaz, He is a pressure fighter. It would be an easy fight. I would definitely retire him, just like I retired Tyron woodley. Nick Diaz You will never fight again, I promise”, he concluded.
Last week, the MMA world was shaken by the news that Nick could return to the sport after more than five years away. According to the athlete's manager, Kevin Mubenga, the return should take place in early 2021
