Jorge Masvidal's knockdown of Colby Covington left his bitter rival's face briefly disfigured before he rallied to unanimous decision victory.
Covington scored a one-sided victory over Masvidal at UFC 272 to settle their long-standing feud which originates from their time as friends and training partners.
Masvidal found himself on the back foot from the opening bell despite showing brief glimpses of his striking power throughout.
