Confirmed: Masvidal vs. Usman is Next

[ReadWrite]

“Give me a month and let this thing heal up. I can make a fist now. I’m cracking. They put out the guys, and let’s be honest, if you look at the division, I’ve beaten almost everybody there in the top 10. It’s a matter of who they really want, what’s next. Dana (White) said they really want Jorge. Jorge is the next guy.”

[Klaavical]

Usman easily

 

[EXOICHO]

Usman by boring lay and pray and/or wall and stall

 

[Wizzlebiz]

I hope this is the big payday Mas was looking for.

Because I just don't see him having the same hype after he's smothered by Usman.

8/10 on the wizzle scale.

 

[Final Say]

Not confirmed at all

 

[wilKO]

I see they are killing the Masvidal threat for Conor

 

[Sweater of AV]

Logical fight to make. Let them bang.

 

[chitoortiz]

TS' definition of "confirmed" is not accurate.

 

[Rob-G]

10/10 fight. Can’t think of anything else that could be made right now that I’d be more excited for. I hope neither fighter backs out and it happens

 

[Ruv]

IDGAF Masvidal is going to KO this crome dome Usman.

Dudes listing how his knees are bad and his hands are fragile, hope Masvidal violently KOs him.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Champ vs #1 Contender... Hopefully it starts a trend. Wonder what kind of dish Mas plans to serve for the baptism...

 

[Sonny Qc]

Could be a fun fight,
and to be honest that's also the money fight a WW (excluding Conor right now)

I think Jorge is way overated right now tho.

 

[VVarhead]

Dumb thread because it's not confirmed at all.

 

[SpecialDelivery]

I'd love for Masvidal to KO Usman, but lets be real
Usman is gonna dry hump him for all 5 rds. Masvidal will bitch and moan about being hugged the whole fight afterwards, and Usman will call out either GSP or McGregor.

Change your title from confirmed to "Usman says he wants Masvidal next"

 

[Harlekin]

Ufc thinking:
Conor gets wrestlefucked by Usman, so that only brings in money once.

Masvidal fighting Usman brings good money and if he wins, that brings great money against Conor.
Conor then is a 3div champ and they make Mayweather money.
That way they avoid Khabib and Diaz gets a few easy matchups to hype a rematch.
If it's a close fight, even better, instand rematch against Masvidal.
Endless money.

If Masvidal loses, Conor fights Gaethje, still money.

 

[MMACroatia]

Masvidal by KO once it goes down.

8/10 on the wizzle scale.

Naw he's one of Danas children now. If he losses he'll get to handpick his next opponent and fight at the weight he feels most comftorbale. Stephen A will just have to deal with it.

 

[Huligani]

If it happens then the Masvidal hype train will sadly come to a close.

 

[bigconan]

Usman easily

might be right, but i'd love to see mas ko usman stiff....
