UFC 272

Colby Covington utilized a clear strategy to wear down Jorge Masvidal over five rounds and earned a unanimous decision victory at UFC 272. Covington's wrestling was simply too much for Masvidal, resulting in most of the fight being contested on the mat ...

Did he deserve to be in the UFC that early in his career? Rodriguez had a solid showing Saturday. It was good enough to get the win. Raimondi: Rodriguez is one of the best women's strawweight fighters in the world. Did he deserve an opportunity to be in professional sports -- period -- given some of the details of his past? A freak athlete, obviously, who looked comfortable in a fist fight from the very beginning. Holland needs to remember that whatever edge in strength he might bring down from 185 pounds, he loses some of the speed advantage he was used to. Dos Anjos was planning on fighting Islam Makhachev, but that fight failed to come to fruition for the third time. This is a legit win against a very dangerous featherweight, with a ton of experience fighting at the highest level. If Evloev wins, you're talking about a matchup between, potentially, two of the very best grapplers in the division. If he can't win the championship right now, the next best thing is to build his name and become a legit pay-per-view draw. He could raise the profile of a potential title challenger. He's on the last fight of his UFC deal.
