This Saturday, March 5th, UFC 272 is coming to your screen with Colby “Chaos” Covington (16-3-0) taking on Jorge “Gamebred” Masvidal (35-15-0). Both Covington and Masvidal lost their last matchups against Welterweight champion Kamaru Usman, so this bout could decide who is in line for belt contention. The last time Masvidal walked away with a win was a while ago, back in UFC 244, while Covington beat Tyron Woodley during UFC Fight Night by KO/TKO in late 2020. Both men are hungry for a win, and we wouldn't be surprised to see each of them going for an early finish.
