The main event of UFC 272 will feature two popular welterweights in a grudge match, with Colby Covington facing Jorge Masvidal. The pay-per-view event will air live from the T-Mobile Arena on March 5. The $75 main card is exclusive to ESPN+ and starts at 10 p.m. ET.

Masvidal and Covington were once roommates and training partners, with Masvidal making his UFC debut one year before Covington in 2013. Their relationship deteriorated as they rose in the ranks of UFC’s welterweight division, leading to several in-person altercations and a series of insults traded in separate interviews.
