Watch Masvidal have to pull out again to injury and then Khamzat fills in as a replacement out of nowhere and wrecks Colby lol

But in all seriousness, Colby should easily win this on paper but Masvidal is a man full of surprises.  I'm sure he will bring the fire after that knockout loss to Usman and especially fighting his former best friend.

This is a big money fight so masvidal won’t pull out unless he’s actually injured this time

Interested to see what else the UFC is targeting here. Colby/Jorge will sell well no doubt but you would think they would need maybe 1/2 more 'big' fights to stack the main card given no titles are on the line. Barboza/Mitchell is the second biggest fight on the card but thats nothing more than a PPV opener you would imagine at best.

They got room for 6 more fights so I’m sure they’ll find something no problem. Everyone was *****ing about 271 being such a terrible card and then they add Lewis vs tuivasa and it’s great. Imo there’s not one bad fight announced for this card yet

A lot of the high-profile fighters and anticipated fights are booked already is all I am thinking. You would imagine they maybe want one title fight to boost things - only angle I see working there is Jiri/Glover... 

Non-title fights you would assume maybe Diaz would be a good target for this card also. Other than that there isn't a huge amount that fits. Shevchenko has no worthy opponents, Rose probably is too soon, Charles/Justin is too soon. Interested to see where they go.

I also saw Colby vs Jorge is 1 of 2 big fights they’re booking for this card. So I can only assume that’s diaz vs poirier. Maybe if they’re really crazy they do Usman vs leon as co headliner

Glover - Jiri will most likely take place in Brazil

Diaz/Poirier would fit great on this card IMO. Winners potentially fight each other and losers potentially fight each other. Diaz being notoriously hard to deal with obviously makes things more tricky and imagine the **** show leading up to the fights haha. 

Surely Luque is looking to fight soon. Could be a WW heavy main card!

Here's the thing: If Colby wants an easy W, he'll take Jorge down and dominate him for 5 rounds.  However, if he just wrestles him to a boring decision, Jorge can call him a "crotch sniffer" who didn't come to fight but if Colby decides to make it a stand up fight, there's no excuse making and the fight becomes a 100 times more exciting. 

Imagine how crazy the crowd would go if Jorge flatlines his ex-BFF and how wild it would be if they're both cut up and bleeding and have a face-off at the end of a round like Rory and Robbie. 

Dammit, I can't wait!

There's gonna be some iconic lines coming outta Colby & Masvidal... And tears from me knowing either Edson Barboza or Bryce Mitchell will lose.

I love Edson but surely Mitchell winning has to be better for the division? I think he has a higher ceiling.

Covington vs. Masvidal
Colby Covington, DEC
I think Jorge knows what Colby is going to do, just like how he knew with been. Am i saying he's gonna pull another flying knee out of his ass? No, but I'm saying that I think this fight will be more competitive than people thing.
