While it’s unknown how much heat the Covington (17-4 MMA, 12-4 UFC) vs. Joaquin Buckley (20-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC) main event at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Fla. will have, there’s almost no question it won’t be Covington’s most intense career rivalry. That crown belongs to the “King of Miami,” Jorge Masvidal.

Covington earned his keep in the UFC with a forward-moving, volume-striking attack that opened opportunities for his standout wrestling, achieving few wins by stoppage but proving time and again to be adept at outlasting opponents over the course of three- and five-round fights.
