There’s nothing better that a rivalry fight in which there is a lot of bad blood between the two fighters. And a rivalry doesn’t get much more heated than the one between Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal, who square off in the main event of UFC 272.
The UFC returns to Las Vegas for UFC 272, a card headlined by the welterweight grudge match between Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington. The two began as teammates — and roommates — but have since thrown all that out the window amid both men’s rise to MMA stardom. Masvidal has the beef between the two will never die while Covington has promised to “drop him on his head” if they cross paths in the future. The main event is the kind of fight that will draw the eyeballs of both diehard fans and casual fans.
