This evening, fight fans around the globe are getting treated to a full night of intense action in the Octagon for the UFC’s big pay-per-view event for March. At UFC 272, Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal — two of the most iconic MMA fighters in the world — are going fist-to-fist as the main event. There are 13 bouts planned in total, and with three fight cards on deck, you can look forward to more than six hours’ worth of combat tonight. If you’re planning to watch the UFC 272 live stream online, here’s when you’ll need to tune in.

As with most UFC pay-per-view events, tonight’s fights are spread across three cards. The action starts in the evening at 6 p.m. ET (3 p.m. PT) with the early preliminary card, which features four matchups. Following this is the preliminary card at 8 p.m. ET, also featuring four fights. Finally, the main event — which is the pay-per-view — starts at 10 p.m. ET. There are five bouts on the main card, culminating in the welterweight showdown between Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal. UFC fights last around 30 minutes, so we expect Covington and Masvidal to enter the Octagon at or shortly after midnight ET.

The headliner is a contest between Covington (16-3), the No. 1 ranked fighter on the UFC welterweight roster, and Jorge Masvidal (35-15), a seasoned veteran who has been fighting for almost two decades. For the co-main, former lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos will fight Renato Moicano, who is replacing Rafael Fiziev. Anjos and Fiziev were supposed to fight at UFC 270, but the fight was postponed due to visa issues. Fiziev later had to pull out of UFC 272 due to a positive COVID-19 test.

Is 21-Year-Old Jackson Koivun the Future of Golf? Scottie Scheffler Already Offering High Praise

Adult, Male, Man

The future is here, and his name is Jackson Koivun. The 21-year-old made only his third pro start over the weekend at TPC Twin Cities, where he fended off world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler to capture the 3M Open. It’s Koivun’s first PGA Tour win, but it’s not just that he won. It’s how he won that impressed the golf world, including Scheffler.

The Auburn alum entered the final day of the tournament with a three-stroke lead, and he didn’t let up. Koivun got off to a stellar start on the front nine. He later admitted that he had nerves heading into the back nine, but it didn’t show. Koivun posted two birdies on the back nine and finished the final round bogey-free. He’d go on to win by three strokes. He finished 5-under 66 on Sunday and set a tournament-record 25-under 259 total.

Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton Narrowly Misses Making History in Hungarian Grand Prix Qualifying

Head, Person, Face

Lewis Hamilton is having a rebound year for Ferrari. Ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix in Budapest, the 41-year-old was looking to accomplish something no driver had ever done there: earn his 10th pole position. McLaren’s Lando Norris, however, had different plans.

At the last second, Norris snatched Hamilton’s chances at making history in Hungarian Grand Prix qualifying. Norris crossed the line with a qualifying time of 1:17.207 to take pole position, followed by Hamilton (1:17.219) and his Ferrari teammate, Charles Leclerc (1:17.445). 19-year-old sensation Kimi Antonelli (1:17.479) settled for fourth place for Mercedes.

Saturday Packs a Punch With Anthony Joshua vs. Kristian Prenga and Errol Spence Jr. vs. Tim Tszyu

Adult, Male, Man

Your Saturday is pretty much booked if you’re a big boxing fan. But if not for Tyson Fury, the action would have actually started Friday morning with his heavyweight bout against Poland’s Mariusz Wach, which was NOT televised because the so-called Gypsy King opted to save the footage for the upcoming season of his Netflix series, At Home With the Furys. According to reports, Fury squared off against Wach at Max Muay Thai Stadium in Thailand, where Fury secured a seventh-round TKO. Fury’s dominant win sets up a once-in-a-generation heavyweight showdown against Anthony Joshua, provided the British boxing star keeps his end of the bargain on Saturday.

Joshua’s long-awaited return to the ring comes against Kristian Prenga in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, as part of Riyadh Season. It’s Joshua’s first fight since he brutally knocked out Jake Paul at Kaseya Center in Miami in December 2025. While his fight against Paul was a sanctioned contest, Joshua’s last fight against a legitimate boxer came against Daniel Dubois in September 2024. Joshua, who was a passenger in a deadly car crash that killed one of his best friends in Nigeria days after the Paul fight, lost to Dubois via a fifth-round knockout.
