McGregor/title shot ruled out as next for Masvidal

Tuesday night, while speaking to the media following "Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series," White first confirmed that former interim champion Colby Covington -- who impressed this past weekend with his dominant victory over Robbie Lawler -- has earned the right to face Usman for the undisputed 170-pound title next. When the subject of Masvidal's demands was brought up shortly after, White addressed the ultimatum by putting his foot down.

"You can't make ultimatums," White said. "Listen, we're going to offer him a fight, and if he accepts the fight, he does and if he doesn't, he doesn't."

The pnly fight that makes sense for him is Leon right now. Winner of that gets next shot while Woodley sits on the sidelines and perfects his rhymes.

Yes. Really. 

Edwards will pick Jorge apart. 

Jorge should be jumping through hoops to get that Conor fight. Sure, Conor will knock him out within 2 rounds, but at least he'll get a huge payday out of it.

What is Woodley doing? Is he hurt? Why not Woodley Vs Masvidal?

Woodley focussing on his Rap career until Dana makes him an eight figure offer. 

Masvidal: I will only fight fighter A.

Dana: You can’t make ultimatums. Proceeds to make ultimatum: You will only fight fighter B.

Dana is like: You'll fight who I tell you or BYE FELICIA.

Masvidal beats Edwards

Who cares really... The world is focused on the Holm / Pennington rematch right now.

Rehabbing his hand. Said he plans to fight before the year is out.

the McGregor fight would be so huge.. it's one time I think I'd absolutely look forward to the trash talk and buildup

I think Woodley is going the Stipe route and just sitting out until he gets his rematch. Good luck with that though with how deep the division is and how boring of a champion he was.

The UFC owes Leon for not making Jorge live an A$AP situation.
