UFC 272 WEIGH-IN, PRESSER, COUNTDOWN SHOW, BETTING ODDS, MEDIA DAY & HOW TO WATCH!
The Ultimate Fighting Championship returns to pay-per-view with a rare non-championship main event as UFC 272 is headlined by a welterweight grudge match between Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal. Before their five-round battle, both multiple-time title challengers successfully made weight. There was no issue with any competitor on the card, as the remaining 24 fighters hit their proper marks to make this 13-fight event official.
Just like his opponent, Covington (16-3) is coming off a loss to Kamaru Usman. However, Covington fared better, dropping a decision rather than suffering a brutal knockout. Prior to the setback, “Chaos” had defeated ex-champ Tyron Woodley. Beyond the two losses to the current welterweight champ, Covington hasn’t lost since 2015. The Oregon native officially weighed 170.5 pounds for the bout.
Before two losses against Usman, Masvidal (35-15) had become a fan-favorite inside the Octagon thanks to his knockouts of Ben Askren, Darren Till and Nate Diaz, with the latter coming by doctor intervention. While winless since capturing the ceremonial “BMF” title, Masvidal remains a top star for the promotion. “Gamebred” stepped on the scale at 170.5 pounds.
UFC 272’s main card will air on Saturday on ESPN+ pay-per-view at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT. Prelims begin at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT on ESPN+ and UFC Fight Pass before continuing on ESPN and ESPN+ at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.
