Colby Covington claimed Tyron's MUM'S reaction to Jake Paul's knockout proved that their fight was 'definitely fixed'
Some internet conspiracists tried arguing it was staged, and that Woodley used a secret hand signal in order to set up the final punch.
UFC welterweight Covington, a well-known troll and trash-talker, has now made the same wild accusations.
The 34-year old even said that Woodley's reaction to the ring, which she was wearing afterward, is evidence.
Covington stated on the Nel Boys podcast that "It was definitely fixable, you could see it."

"Just the way he liked signaled to him like, "Hey OK. Now you're going to take the knockout."
"Then, you see Woodley’s mum dancing in the f***ing Octagon, as if she's screaming right next to her child.
"Like, Dude, your son just got knocked down and humiliated before the entire world and you're f***ing screaming Happy?"
"That was a work of 100 percent."

Nelk Boys also heard him say: "It’s bulls ***.." I don't know anything about any other.
"I'm speaking about my fights. I cannot speak for anyone else's fights. Also, this is highly illegal.
Woodley, 39, and one of his coaches also publicly refuted the wild claims.
Sirius XM's Traner Din Thomas stated: "That theory, it makes you laugh. I was in his camp and knew how serious it was.
"It was serious, Tyron really wanted to win this fight back, he really wanted it and it was serious.
"I wish they had told me that it was a dive because it would have been a night I didn't want to spend the night working."
"I thought I'd like to party but that wasn’t the case." It was a legitimate, legal fight.
Woodley lost to Covington in 2020, and he spoke on The MMA Hour, saying, "Yeah. I took a motherf***ing diving dive."
"But it wasn’t on purpose. That motherf***er hit my with some s ***."
