Covington began his promotional career against Anying Wang in 2014, which he won via a TKO in the first round. His latest bout was an unsuccessful title bid in a rematch against Kamaru Usman, which he lost via a unanimous decision.

Colby Covington fights Jorge Masvidal this weekend at UFC 272
Covington vs. Masvidal will headline the UFC 272 pay-per-view this weekend. The fight card will take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal used to be training partners and very close friends for the better part of the last decade. However, they haven't been cordial with each other for a while now. Both fighters have launched numerous verbal attacks on each other in recent times.
The pair will finally get a chance to settle their beef inside the octagon this weekend in the main event of UFC 272.
Covington and Masvidal are both coming off losses to reigning welterweight king Kamaru Usman in their most recent bouts. A win for either could get them back on track for another tilt at the 170 lb belt somewhere down the line.
