Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal are finally going to fight in the main event of UFC 272. The build-up to the fight has been very nasty and both men have been going at each other for weeks.

Colby Covington recently spoke to TMZ and revealed what he plans to do to Jorge Masvidal at UFC 272. The former interim champion plans to make it a very tough night for ‘Gamebred.'

“I see a lot of pain,” Covington said ahead of UFC 272. “I’m going to inflict so much pain on Jorge Masvidal. He’s not going to be the same person ever again. He keeps talking about a baptism. There’s not going to be a baptism. It’s going to be a funeral. It’s Jorge Masvidal’s career-ending funeral. It’s going to be violent, and I’m not going to finish it quick.”

“I could easily finish it quick because I’d do it all the time behind closed doors when we used to train. But this one, I’m going to drag it out. I’m going to make him suffer and it’ll probably be the first time in UFC history you see a guy in a main event just verbally tap out and say he can’t take no more of a beating.”
