Colby Covington Beats Jorge Masvidal Via Decision in Rivalry Match at UFC 272

Colby Covington claimed victory over his former teammate and friend Jorge Masvidal with a unanimous decision win in the main event of UFC 272 from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday.

Masvidal opened the fight with a flying front kick that looked reminiscent of his famous flying knee against Ben Askren. When it didn't land Covington went for the early takedown. While Gamebred defended his early attempts, he did wind up spending quite a bit of the first round on the defensive or on the ground.
