Colby Covington re-emerged as a top contender in his unanimous decision victory against Jorge Masvidal:
Covington took Masvidal’s back and controlled him on the ground, clearly holding the advantage in the first round. Masvidal got back to his feet with just under a minute in the round, but that first round belonged to Covington, who was too much for Masvidal’s takedown defense.
Covington started the fifth round with a takedown. The pace was by no means electric, but it was dominant. Rafael dos Anjos laid an absolute beating on Renato Moicano, winning by unanimous decision after five physical rounds. Moicano finished the fifth round with a couple extra shots, and he showed a tremendous amount of heart, but this was dos Anjos’s fight. While dos Anjos is unlikely to jump in the lightweight rankings, the victory allows him to hold on to his No. 6 spot.Bryce Mitchell has his signature win.
Mitchell entered the bout as the No. 11 featherweight in the division, and this victory against No. 10 Barboza represents a massive step as he climbs the top ten. He put a beating on Barboza in each round, beginning in the first when he landed a powerful left hand that nearly ended the fight by knockout. Mitchell then controlled the next two-and-a-half minutes of ground control before Barboza returned to his feet and landed a couple blows.
Holland was frustrated by Oliveira in the opening five minutes, but made adjustments that put a quick end to this bout. Just 38 seconds into the second round, he landed a flurry of shots on Oliveira to end the fight. The victory is unlikely to catapult Spivak too high in the heavyweight division, but perhaps he can get a ranked opponent next. And the end has to be near for Hardy, who has now dropped three in a row and five of his last six.Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington headline UFC 272, each seeking to remain top contenders in the welterweight division.
