UFC 272 is just days away. Combat sports fans want to see a series of spectacular fights this weekend. The upcoming event is expected to be nothing less than a war in the octagon.

Former friends Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal will headline the event. Their grudge fight will be one of the biggest bouts this year, and it isn’t even for a title. Both the fighters have fought Kamaru Usman and were unsuccessful in securing the undisputed welterweight belt. So a fight against each other makes sense. Plus, their rivalry makes the fight much bigger.
