Tyron Woodley has called for a showdown against Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz for THIS Saturday following the cancellation of his UFC London bout versus Leon Edwards.

The scheduled UFC London main-event clash between Woodley and Edwards has been cancelled due to the implications of the coronavirus outbreak.

The event is set to go ahead but in America with Woodley insisting he will fight on Saturday, and he's eyeing a few UFC superstars as his potential opponent.

He called out McGregor, Diaz, Donald Cerrone and UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman, but he's set his sights on arch-rival Colby Covington, who issued a scathing message to him on social media.

"I am fighting Saturday. Appreciate you fans. I'm fighting Saturday," Woodley explained in a video message.

"Who I'm fighting, I don't know. I was willing to go to London, actually I was supposed to be flying out today in four hours to go to London.

"Only one of my cornermen was going to make it and that's it and my videographer and homey - those were the only two who were gonna corner me.

"I was gonna go out there with two people into an empty arena, I don't give a f***. I've been training, I'm in pure murder mode."

Woodley added: "There's so many fighters (that say) 'Any time, any place, any where' - until it's f***ing me.

"Where's Nate and Nick Diaz? Where's Cowboy Cerrone? Where's Conor McGregor?

"Where are these fighters? Where's Colby Covington? F***, where's Usman at?

"I don't want to fight people that don't make sense. I'm not in here to give somebody else a name.

"I'm not here for somebody, 'This is my one and only chance to get to the top!'

"I was a five time world f***ing champion, don't forget it. I hate to have to remind people. I am geared for f**king war."
