I see the logic, but surely they should have just done Colby vs. Diaz next month? You get Covington a win in a hyped fight and you have him challenging on a win streak, active and with the Diaz rub. Now, the likelihood is you have Leon Edwards beating Diaz, building his name, then parking him for another year most likely. Wonderboy too. I think more likely is Edwards stopping Diaz on cuts and earning the shot, with Colby fighting the loser of this weekend's title fight. The champ's not committing to Colby if there's a chance Diaz wins as well. If it means the title's active and we get Colby in August and Leon or Wonderboy in December/January, fine.

What I love is how many fans were like "Oh Masvidal is scared of Colby, sitting out waiting for a title fight!" I'm sure those same fans will now backtrack and be all "Well if Jorge can do it why can't Colby?" I think even Usman and Woodley both sat and waited for their shot. It's not exactly a bad thing. See, Jorge is a million+ draw so I can see why the UFC didn't try to put him in any other fight outside the title fight. They owed him a rematch after stepping up on short notice and Usman deserves to prove that he can hug the shit out of you and not a damn thing is going to happen lol.
