Colby Covington (16-3) and Jorge Masvidal (35-15) will finally settle their differences in the main event of UFC 272 this Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
The pair were once close friends and training partners at American Top Team in South Florida. They even shared an apartment together for a period. Unfortunately, as they were simultaneously ascending to the top of the UFC welterweight division, their relationship began to decay. Today, they're among the most heated rivals in all of MMA.
Everyone loves a good grudge match, but in this case, the heat between Covington and Masvidal is distracting from what is a very interesting matchup on paper.
