It is no secret that ahead of the UFC 272 main event between Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal that there is tonnes of bad blood there and it is all real.

As you can hear from both sides, the two have different stories as to what happened which led to Covington leaving American Top Team, this has been the big and main storyline heading into their fight.
There will no doubt be so much more trash talk between the two fighters in the full version of the interview as well as in the pre-fight press conference.
Who do you believe will win this fight? Covington or Masvidal?
