Colby Covington remains as hostile as ever toward UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley.

But these days, there’s also a new target of his frustration: his promoter.

Passed over for a coaching spot on “The Ultimate Fighter 27” and unlikely to get the next welterweight title shot, Covington (13-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) has a sharp warning for the UFC if it intends to promote Woodley (18-3-1 MMA, 8-2-1 UFC) opposite Rafael dos Anjos (28-9 MMA, 17-7 UFC).

“You’re going to do the least amount of pay-per-views ever in history if they do Woodley and RDA,” Covington told MMAjunkie Radio on Wednesday.

Officially, no plans have been made for Woodley’s next fight, because the champ is healing from shoulder surgery. However, UFC President Dana White said dos Anjos is likely the next contender for the 170-pound title.

“I just don’t get why they want to do RDA,” Covington said. “It’s not a money fight. Tyron wants to be the hero, so if he wants to be the hero, he needs to come fight me. I’m the villain. I’m the bad guy of the division. I’m the most hated guy in the division.”

Woodley has his own ideas about who should be next and when he should fight. In a recent interview with MMAjunkie Radio, he said he wants to fight on the promotion’s big summer card, UFC 226, which takes place July 7 at T-Mobile Arena and is headlined by a heavyweight superfight between champ Stipe Miocic (18-2 MMA, 12-2 UFC) and light heavy champ Daniel Cormier (20-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC).

Woodley agrees that dos Anjos is the most fitting candidate but prefers an opponent to solidify his legacy. Former welterweight and middleweight Georges St-Pierre (26-2 MMA, 20-2 UFC) is tops on that list. “Money fights” opposite lightweight champ Conor McGregor (21-3 MMA, 9-1 UFC) and Nate Diaz (19-11 MMA, 14-9 UFC) also beckon.

“He’s not going to get Diaz, he’s not going to get GSP, and Conor isn’t even in question,” Covington said. “He’s trying to piggyback on all the star cards. He wants to be on this summer card with ‘DC’ and Stipe, because he’s not a pay-per-view draw. No one wants to pay and watch Tyron fight.

“If they’re going to pay to watch Tyron fight, I guarantee right now, his best numbers will be against Colby ‘Chaos’ Covington. The blood we have, it’s real beef. This isn’t any manufactured, fake drama. He’s actually a (expletive), and I hate the guy.”

Covington, who delivered a breakout performance this past October with a decision over two-time title challenger Demian Maia, said he’s ready to fight at any moment. The fact that he isn’t in consideration for a title shot irks him. And yet he claims not to care about whether the UFC endorses his mission to become champion.

“If they don’t like me, they don’t like me,” he said. “That’s their decision. They’re losing out on business. They’re losing out on money. They don’t see that I’m the money fight. I’m the new money fighter in the division. I’m the new star of the UFC. They need a guy like me, and they don’t see my potential. But that’s OK. I’m not out to please everyone. If the UFC doesn’t like what I’m doing, it is what it is.

“I’m going to wait and see what happens in this welterweight title picture. Maybe the UFC comes to their senses and realizes RDA is not a draw, and Colby Covington’s a draw, and Woodley’s a joke. He can’t even do his own pay-per-view, because the guy can’t even sell 50,000 PPVs. Maybe the UFC will see the truth and the realness of what the people want and what the fans want.”
