The controversial duel between Colby covington e Jorge masvidal will be followed very closely by an 'intimate enemy' of the two fighters. The welterweight champion (up to 77,1kg) Kamaru Usman revealed that he will be in the audience at UFC 272 watching the confrontation and, in a mocking tone, provoked his last opponents.

“It’s a good fight. It's an intriguing fight. Taking the fight out of Francis Ngannou (do not UFC 270), I haven't been to an event to sit and watch in a while. That's one I'll be there to watch. It's a great event. I'm going to be sitting there as a proud father watching my kids fight and do what they do. So, I’m excited to watch this fight,” teased Usman.

Colby covington e Jorge masvidal were defeated by Kamaru Usman recently, on two occasions each. The Nigerian has been the champion of the division since March 2019, when he defeated the then leader Tyron woodley. The 'Nigerian Nightmare' has a record of 20 triumphs and just one setback in professional MMA.
