UFC 272 Bonus Report: Maryna Moroz earns ‘POTN’ for submitting Mariya Agapova

The Octagon remained in Nevada for tonight’s UFC 272 event, a thirteen-bout fight card headlined by Colby Covington vs. Jorge Masvidal.

The highly anticipated welterweight main event resulted in a twenty-five minute battle. Covington was able to utilize his strong wrestling to control a large portion of the rounds on the ground. However, in round four Jorge Masvidal connected with a right hand that momentarily dropped ‘Chaos’. Unfortunately for fans of ‘Gamebred’ that success was short lived as Covington recovered and proceeded to go on to dominate round five. After five hard-fought rounds Colby got the win.

The co-main event of UFC 272 saw Rafael dos Anjos take on Renato Moicano in a 160lbs catchweight contest. ‘RDA’ was able to dominate the opening four rounds of the fight, nearly earning a finish in round three. However, Moicano showed unbelievable heart to come back and arguably win round five. Despite his late surge heroics, Renato ultimately suffered a lopsided decision loss to Dos Anjos.
