you said it right there. 'or arguably beat them'. which means he didnt beat them. masvidal is the greatest decision machine ever, and has to be a record holder for split decisions.I thought he beat Maia, judges had it different. Jorge nullified Maia and inflicted damage.
If anything I think Masvidal is one of the most hated fighters. He doesn't get his due props because he seems to rub certain people the wrong way.
You have to really dig deep into his record to really try and embarrass Masvidal, and that's because he has improved. In all of his latest loses Maia, Larkin, Henderson, and Iaquinta Masvidal gave all of his opponents hard fights or arguably beat them.
Masvidal is a beast, and I'm excited to see his championship potential. I personally thought this guys career was going to take a nose dive after the Larkin lose. I've been pleasantly surprised, and won over since.
Jorge Masvidal got inverse triangled by a natural FW in Toby Imada.
Masvidal also has recent losses against Bellator WW/LWs Lorenz Larkin and Benson Henderson. Masvidal is 3-3 in his last 6 fights. Somehow he is ranked #4 in the UFC's weak WW division.
He may be a top 5 WW in the UFC but he's not a top 5 WW in the world.
Douglas Lima, Rory, Larkin (again), and Koreshkov all beat Masvidal. Paul Daley might beat him again too.
Thoughts?
Nice, why not post a pic of Anderson Silva getting leglocked by Chonan while you're at it?
His standup is as good as any in the division, and Maia himself said he's got the best jj he's faced in the UFC so far.
I'd pick him to beat Woodley.
His fight against Cerrone then proves Cerrone is done. Getting dominated by such an overrated fighter.
Masvidal would dominate him as Perry's stand up, simply isn't very complete yet.I'd like to see Masvidal vs Platinum Mike.
