El Covington 'cerebral' apaga la magia de Masvidal en el UFC 272
En el cuarto asalto, Jorge Masvidal se tuvo que refugiar en la jaula porque estaba muy tocado. Acto seguido, el de Miami aflojó las piernas a Colby Covington con un crochet tremendo. La mala sangre entre ambos se reflejó al acabar ese round. Los dos cruzaron miradas… saltaban chispas en el octágono del UFC 272. Quedaban cinco minutos, pero de nuevo volvió a salir el Colby más cerebral. Durmió la pelea, dominó y se llevó la victoria por decisión unánime (49-46, 50-44 y 50-45). El número 1 del ranking del welter había sido mejor y solo esa mano le hizo temer por su victoria. Fue mejor y justo vencedor. Poco tardó en poner dirección a su próximo objetivo: "He limpiado la basura de Miami, voy por la de Louisiana. Voy a por ti, Dustin Poirier", espetó.
