The promise was made by Dana White to Colby after beating the Brazilian and former champion Rafael dos Anjos for the interim welterweight title in June this year at UFC 225 in Chicago, United States.

After winning the division's provisional gold, Covington guaranteed that he would face the linear champion, Tyron woodley to unify the title. An injury took him away from his plans, so Ultimate opted to hire Darren till against Woodley at UFC 228.
