Greg Hardy opens UFC 272’s main card: Why?

This Saturday, UFC 272’s main event is stacked with big-name fighters and a lot of highly compelling matchups.

Kevin Holland looks to redeem a momentum-killing losing streak against a wily veteran in Alex Oliveira, Bryce Mitchell takes a gigantic step up in competition with the always-dangerous Edson Barboza, and Rafael Dos Anjos will face off against Renato Moicano in a last-minute matchup after Dos Anjos’ original opponent pulled out at the eleventh hour with a positive COVID test. All of this is before the main event, that sees the well-documented rivalry between the consensus second-best welterweight on the planet, Colby Covington, and perhaps the second biggest draw in the sport today, Jorge Masvidal, come to an explosive conclusion.
