The UFC showcases the #6 ranked ‘BMF Champ’, Jorge Masvidal, in a Welterweight grudge match with former friend, Colby “Chao”s Covington. Masvidal has competed with Bellator, Strikeforce, Shark Fights & World Victory Road during his 18 years as a professional mixed martial artist. He holds the record for the fastest KO in UFC history at just five seconds. His foe, Covington holds the distinction of being the former Interim UFC Welterweight Champion and is seated in the #1 slot in the divisional rankings.
Meanwhile, the co-main event features a replacement match. Instead of RDA vs Rafael Fiziev, we are getting former UFC Lightweight Champ Rafael dos Anjos vs . Renato Moicano. Moicano is the former interim Jungle Fight Featherweight Champ. He has two wins and a loss under his belt after his battle with COVID-19 this past November and December. The last minute bout will be contested at a catchweight of 160 lbs.
Also on the PPV card, we have a Featherweight match between fight veteran, Edson ‘Junior’ Barboza and the undefeated up-and-comer, Bryce ‘Thug Nasty’ Mitchell, who is currently on a five fight win streak. As well as an exciting matchup between Middleweights, Kevin ‘Trailblazer’ Holland and Alex ‘Cowboy’ Oliveira, not to mention what is sure to be an engaging Heavyweight scrap in our main card opener between Sergey Spivak and Greg Hardy.
Plus, a promising showdown in our featured prelim including Lightweights Jalin Turner vs. Jamie Mullarkey… which is expected not to disappoint, as part of our massive eight-bout undercard. What a wild Saturday full of fights we have to share with you!
