Significant strikes
Covington, when at his best and most commanding, is an exhausting fighter to face. His attack continues unabated, whether buoyed with a better striking game or shooting for takedowns. He does well to mix strikes into takedowns and hide shots this way, and when he finds an opponent with a fence, he struggles with each melee to stay on the front foot. Even if it looks like his opponent is starting to build a base to get back on his feet, Covington is clever in the way he lets his enemy rest before dragging him back to the mat. Is.

What it means: “Gambread” is a super clever and technically clean striker, with some really smooth and deadly boxing at the forefront of his attack. The combination he throws is advanced, and he mixes the shots well. His hook may be his best punch, but he has all the shots in the book. He especially likes a tricky, switch-step overhand when he switches from conservative to southeast. He also likes to kick the body from a distance. He’s surprisingly strong with the fence in the clinch, and he eagerly throws elbows and punches from the brakes once he’s in place.
What to look for in a fight: Beyond all the bad blood from this matchup between former teammates, this fight is likely going to be down to whether Masvidal can weather Covington’s battling and for how long. Covington has an endless gas tank and doesn’t mind a gritty, grinding style of fighting with roots in his wrestling background. If Masvidal’s two fights against welterweight champion Kamaru Usman are anything to go by.
