UFC 272: Live YT Radio-Style PBP - 'Covington vs. Masvidal' Commentary

Join us for an audio broadcast of our LIVE ‘radio style’ play-by-play commentary of the UFC 272 PPV MAIN CARD, including LIVE updates, results & reactions. The event was broadcast on ESPN+ from the T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, NV. Check out the VIDEO broadcast of this show on our Combat Culture YT Channel at: https://youtu.be/O0c2SMN6TkU

Throughout the telecast, our host, Matt Ryan, & co-host Brendan Sokler, brought you all of the face-punching goodness the UFC could provide...along with the completely legal and totally not real person Dan A. White. The team streamed LIVE from the YELLiNG! studios inside the diner from the Series Finale of The Sopranos.

The UFC showcased the #6 ranked ‘BMF Champ’, Jorge Masvidal, in a Welterweight grudge match with former friend, Colby “Chao”s Covington. Masvidal has competed with Bellator, Strikeforce, Shark Fights & World Victory Road during his 18 years as a professional mixed martial artist. He holds the record for the fastest KO in UFC history at just five seconds. His foe, Covington holds the distinction of being the former Interim UFC Welterweight Champion and is seated in the #1 slot in the divisional rankings.

Meanwhile, the co-main event featured a replacement match. Instead of RDA vs Rafael Fiziev, we are getting former UFC Lightweight Champ Rafael dos Anjos vs . Renato Moicano. Moicano is the former interim Jungle Fight Featherweight Champ. He has two wins and a loss under his belt after his battle with COVID-19 this past November and December. The last minute bout will be contested at a catchweight of 160 lbs.

Also on the PPV card, we had a Featherweight match between fight veteran, Edson ‘Junior’ Barboza and the undefeated up-and-comer, Bryce ‘Thug Nasty’ Mitchell, who is currently on a five fight win streak. As well as an exciting matchup between Middleweights, Kevin ‘Trailblazer’ Holland and Alex ‘Cowboy’ Oliveira, not to mention what was sure to be an engaging Heavyweight scrap in our main card opener between Sergey Spivak and Greg Hardy.
