Sean Shelby’s Shoes: What’s next for Colby Covington after UFC on ESPN+ 36 win?

(ALSO SEE: Sean Shelby’s Shoes: What’s next for Tyron Woodley after UFC on ESPN+ 36 loss?)

Colby Covington got back to winning form on Saturday when he defeated heated rival Tyron Woodley in the UFC on ESPN+ 36 main event.

Covington (16-2 MMA, 11-2 UFC) rebounded from his title-fight loss to Kamaru Usman in December with a fifth-round TKO of former champ Woodley (19-6-1 MMA, 9-5-1 UFC) in the welterweight headliner, which took place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and streamed on ESPN+.

There seem to be options galore for Covington after the triumphant performance. Usman, Gilbert Burns Jorge Masvidal, Nick Diaz and Nate Diaz were among the names discussed with “Chaos” during the post-fight news conference, but what’s the best option?

Watch the video above for thoughts and analysis on Covington’s win over Woodley at UFC on ESPN+ 36.
