When looking back at the greatest rivalries in UFC history, few have been more personal than the one between Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal.
Once the best of friends, the two welterweight icons’ relationship slowly turned sour as they made their way up the 170-pound rankings, culminating in a main-event showdown at UFC 272. That night, Covington came out on top, securing a decisive unanimous decision victory over ‘Gamebred’ in front of a sold-out crowd in Las Vegas.
Many assumed that’s where the rivalry would officially end, but weeks later, Masvidal attacked ‘Chaos’ outside of a Miami steakhouse, fracturing the three-time title challenger’s tooth.
