It’s fight night!
UFC 272 goes down tonight (Mar. 5) at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, and there’s a grudge match in the main event. While there’s no title at stake, there’s a score to settle between former teammates turned rivals Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington. Both men are coming off losses to welterweight champion Kamaru Usman, and while another title shot is what they’re looking to build towards, the animosity between these two is palpable.
Co-main event action was supposed to be former UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos against rising contender Rafael Fiziev, but Fiziev withdrew due to a positive COVID-19 test.
