UFC 272 date UK start time, TV channel and live stream for Colby Covington vs Jorge Masvisdal

The UFC pay-per-view event returns this weekend which will see five exciting main event fights - including two bitter rivals facing one another for the first time.

Former best friends turned enemies Colby Covington will face Jorge Masvidal in what is expected to be an enthralling battle between two explosive fighters.

It'll be the first time Colby Covington has fought since his close battle with UFC pound-for-pound king Kamaru Usman, in which the Nigerian was awarded the victory in a fight which nearly went the other way.

Masvidal also makes his first return since his loss to Usman, and will look to get one over his most hated opponent.

The fight will take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on March 5 as Masvidal and Covington were interviewed with ESPN's Stephen A Smith on Tuesday, with Masvidal told his former roommate: "You’re going to be in the ER in critical condition".

Covington responded by saying: "I don’t want to knock him out. I’m going to hurt him so bad, you’re not going to be the same person after I’m done with you. I guarantee you you’re going into a coma, b****."

Elsewhere on the card, Rafael dos Anjos makes his return to the UFC as he'll fight eccentric Brazilian Renato Moicano, exciting youngster Bryce Mitchell will face Edson Barboza, Kevin Holland will hope to bounce back against Alex Oliveira, and former NFL pass-rusher Greg Hardy will face former Tom Aspinall opponent Sergey Spivak.

Here's how you can tune in this weekend.
