Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal will settle their beef at UFC 272. Both fighters verbally agreed to the fight, and the non-title bout is nearly finalized, UFC chief business officer Hunter Campbell told ESPN on Tuesday.
The fight will be added to the March 5 card after two anticipated matches were postponed. Max Holloway pulled out of his featherweight title fight against Alexander Volkanovski due to an injury. Aljamain Sterling versus Petr Yan was also postponed, Yahoo Sports' Kevin Iole reports.
Sterling-Yan will now take place at UFC 273 in April.
