Covington lost his last fight against Kamaru Usman at UFC 268. Masvidal's last two fights have been against Usman as well, with the welterweight title on the line on both occasions.
The fight between Edson Barboza and Bryce Mitchell is an important one too. Barboza is No.10 and 'Thug Nasty' is currently ranked No.11 in the featherweight division.

Elsewhere, Brian Kelleher and Umar Nurmagomedov will clash in a featherweight contest during the early prelims. Both fighters usually compete in the bantamweight division. Kelleher will look to sabotage his opponent's undefeated professional record.
