The Ultimate Fighting Championship has officially announced the main card for next month’s blockbuster UFC 272 event, headlined by Colby Covington vs Jorge Masvidal.<\/p>\n

The UFC will return to the T-Mobile Arena for a card that is bound to light Las Vegas on fire during the first week of March. From top to bottom there’s a whole lot to like about UFC 272, and that starts with the main event between Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal.<\/p>\n

These two former friends have turned into bitter rivals<\/a> and on March 5, they’ll give it their all in the name of potentially securing another shot at the UFC welterweight championship.<\/p>\n

Beyond that, the main card<\/a> has a few barnburners in waiting, as confirmed by the promotion.<\/p>\n

UFC 272 – Main Card<\/strong><\/p>\n

Welterweight – Colby Covington vs Jorge Masvidal<\/p>\n

Lightweight – Rafael dos Anjos vs Rafael Fiziev<\/p>\n

Featherweight – Edson Barboza vs Bryce Mitchell<\/p>\n

Welterweight – Kevin Holland vs Alex Oliveira<\/p>\n

Heavyweight – Sergey Spivak vs Greg Hardy<\/p>\n

Covington and Masvidal were former training partners and close friends, but things have fallen apart in the last few years – largely due to the trash talk initiated by “Chaos”. In the co-main event, we’ll finally get a chance to see Rafael dos Anjos battle Rafael Fiziev in a showdown that was initially touted for a fight night main event.<\/p>\n

This isn’t going to be the UFC’s most stacked show of the year and the majority of fans will openly admit that, but it’s always intriguing to see a non-title fight in the main event slot. Neither man wants to lose and that, in a nutshell, is what’s going to have the masses tuning in to see UFC 272.<\/p>\n

Who do you consider to be the favourite in the main event – Colby Covington or Jorge Masvidal? What are your thoughts on the main card? Let us know your thoughts down in the comments, BJPENN Nation!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
