Who won the fight last night between Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal (5th March 2022)?

UFC 272 offered Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal the perfect opportunity to settle their feud inside the octagon. Covington had the last laugh as he walked away with a unanimous decision win after five rounds.

Covington and Masvidal headlined the UFC 272 fight card in a welterweight bout that was hosted at the iconic T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada.

'Chaos' dominated Masvidal on the mat. His superior grappling and gas tank allowed him to control 'Gamebred' for the majority of the fight.

Covington's game plan included reducing the distance between him and Masvidal with strikes, launching a takedown and hunting for a choke to bring the fight to an end.

Masvidal, while looking back at his performance during the post-fight octagon interview, admitted that his wrestling left a lot to be desired. Although Masvidal did an excellent job at defending against Covington's takedowns, it was just not enough.

Although 'Chaos' emerged triumphant, he did not have much to say to Masvidal to stoke the flames of their feud. Instead, he issued a call-out to Dustin Poirier, admitting that a fight against 'The Diamond' was what he wanted next.
