THE GRUDGE MATCH
#1. COLBY COVINGTON (16-3)
Colby is widely regarded as the second best welterweight in the world directly behind champ Kamaru Usman. He’s fought the champ to a decision twice and is the toughest challenger to date for Usman. He’s defeated a long list of Welterweights including Rafeal Dos Anjos, Tyrone Woodley and Robbie Lawler. He looks to prove his worth and get another title shot by defeating former best friend Masvidal at UFC 272.
#6 JORGE MASVIDAL (35-15)
Jorge has been in the UFC well over Ten years and has a fought a who’s who of stars including Donald Cerrone, Kamaru Usman, Nate Diaz and more. He’s the current BMF Champion and holds one of the fastest knock outs in UFC history w/ his historic flying knee over Ben Askren. He’s on a two fight skid after losing twice to the champ so this is a huge fight for “Gamebred” as he is in need of a win to keep his brand going.
