Jorge Masvidal had a rough night in the office against Colby Covington at UFC 272. The Cuban-American fighter was outwrestled for most of the fight and he greatly struggled.

There was a good moment in the fight when Jorge Masvidal dropped Colby Covington in the fourth round at UFC 272. He didn't try to capitalize and Covington was able to pop back up right away.

“Shit, and then I didn’t pounce on him after I dropped him,” Masvidal said at the UFC 272 post-fight press conference. “I wasn’t surprised that he bounced up. I was surprised that I didn’t go and take his head off. I thought he was gonna shoot immediately on me, so I just (was) thinking of the wrong shit instead of just go and take his head off. I was tired; he was tired and hurt.

“That was my chance right there,” the UFC welterweight continued. “That was that window of five, six seconds to give it all I got, and make a sprint, and make a big change. Maybe I could’ve made that round 10-8, 10-7, who knows? But I didn’t take that opening.”
