Tyron Woodley says Colby Covington isn’t really a “MAGA” poster boy at heart — claiming it’s all an act for attention.
Tyron and Colby go back years — they used to be teammates at American Top Team before becoming enemies.
Now, they’re set to settle their beef once and for all on Saturday — and Colby has been promoting the fight as a Republican vs. Democrat throw down.
.@ColbyCovMMA feels “real animosity” towards Tyron Woodley at #UFCVegas11:
“You got red versus blue, you got me, capitalism, versus him, communism, and you got me, MAGA, versus him, maggot.”

“You got red versus blue,” Colby said Thursday … “You got me, capitalism, versus him, communism. And, you got me, MAGA, versus him, maggot.”
You may have seen Colby hanging with President Donald Trump over the weekend — POTUS showered Covington with praise.
But, Tyron says the REAL Colby is NOTHING like the character he pushes to the public … insisting he used to be a “culture vulture” who was “in my gym doing the Nae Nae”
Tyron says Colby “created this entire image and culture based upon trying to get my attention … and guess what, now you got it.”
So, who’s the real Colby?
“Colby Covington is a lost soul,” Woodley says … “He’s a selfish individual. He’s burned so many bridges. Burned a bridge with Jon Jones as a roommate, Jorge Masvidal as a roommate, a teammate and friend, myself, American Top Team and the list just goes on.”
Tyron says he’s excited to finally stop the talking and fight it out on Saturday. #CantWait
