Masvidal is all set to square off against Colby Covington in the main event of UFC 272. The event is scheduled to go down on March 5th at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, United States. One of the biggest grudge matches in UFC history will finally come to a head at the pay-per-view.

Joanna Jedrzejczyk predicts the winner of Jorge Masvidal vs. Colby Covington
During a recent interview with The Schmo, Joanna Jedrzejczyk admitted that she is backing Jorge Masvidal in his upcoming fight against Colby Covington. Jedrzejczyk stated that she expects Masvidal to surprise Covington, citing examples of his past performances against Ben Askren and Darren Till.
Sharing her thoughts on their upcoming bout at UFC 272, the former UFC women's strawweight champion said:
"It's a big fight, you know. Probably, it's going to be one of the biggest fights of 2022. And Jorge Masvidal has this [American Top Team] nation behind his back, but Colby is hell of a fighter, very dedicated."
She added:
"I remember them both training here. They used to do training together for one and a half hour and do some extra training together after. So they both are very dedicated, very talented. But I feel like Jorge Masvidal is going to surprise like he did in the fight with Ben Askren or Darren Till, for example."
