Schedule for UFC 272: Covington vs. Masvidal - weigh-ins and pre-fight press conference
In the headliner of UFC 272, Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal will collide in one of the most anticipated grudge matches of the year. The pay-per-view is set to take place on March 5 at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada.
'Gamebred' and 'Chaos' were once friends and teammates who later became bitter rivals. They are now keen to brutalize each other inside the octagon. Having said that, there'll be much more than just bragging rights on offer when these two men share the octagon on Saturday night.
With both men losing to welterweight champ Kamaru Usman in their last fights, a win could once again thrust either man into title contention. In the co-main event, lightweight contenders Rafael dos Anjos and Rafael Fiziev are set to fight one another in an intriguing matchup.
