Former UFC Lightweight Champion Rafael Dos Anjos faces Colby Covington for the vacant UFC Interim Welterweight Title at UFC 225.
UFC Welterweight Champion Tyron Woodley is expected to face the winner of that bout, but he feels that RDA got played into accepting the fight in the first place.
Woodley expressed his thoughts via a post on twitter:
