The UFC 272 tournament, which will be held in Las Vegas, on March 6, Beijing time, will add a closely watched sub-middleweight showdown, with former UFC sub-welterweight interim champion Colby Covington playing against "BMF" champion Jorge Masvidal.
Colby Covington (16-3, 4 K, 4 S) is 33 years old and has an arm span of 183 cm at 180 cm. He started his professional MMA career in 2012 and joined the UFC in 2014 with a (5-0) result, and has achieved a (11-3) result in the UFC so far. It started in 2016 with a seven-game winning streak and won the UFC sub-middleweight interim title in 2018 with a point win over Rafael dos Anjos. It is regrettable that Kamaru Usman, who challenged UFC sub-middleweight champion in December 2019, was demoted in the fifth set, and Tyron Woodley, who challenged Usman again in the fifth set of 2020, just lost the regrettable points of challenging Usman again last November. Covington is currently no. 1 in the UFC's official rankings in the welterweight.
Jorge Masvedar (35-15, 16 K, 2 S) is 37 years old and has a height of 180 cm with an arm span of 188 cm. He began his professional MMA career in 2003, winning the AFC sub-middleweights in 2006, joining the UFC in 2013 with a (23-7) result, and has achieved a (12-8) result in the UFC so far. In 2019, he won three consecutive games in the second set ko Darren Till, the first 5 seconds KO Ben Askren, and the third set TKO Nate Diaz won the "BMF" gold belt. Kamaru Usman, the 2020 UFC sub-welterweight champion, lost the dots and was defeated by ko in the second set just after challenging Usman again in April last year. Masvedahl is currently 6th in the welterweight of the official UFC rankings.
