UFC 272 live updates, highlights for Colby Covington vs. Jorge Masvidal
LAS VEGAS -- Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal will let their fists do the talking as they aim to settle a rivalry between the former friends turned bitter enemies in the main event of UFC 272 at T-Mobile Arena
After spending years together as roommates and sparring partners at American Top Team, things took a turn for the worse with one of the most heated rivalries in recent memory
It'll be the first time since UFC 183 that a pay-per-view main event will be a non-title affair between two fighters coming off of a loss
But the reasoning is due to how heated this rivalry has become and the interest it has generated from fans. Covington is a former interim welterweight champion who fell short in both attempts to unseat current champion Kamaru Usman
Masvidal suffered the same result, falling short by decision and knockout to Usman. Although there will be no gold on the line, pride and bragging rights may take precedence for Covington and Masvidal
