Calling it now.
I am a Mas fan, and respect Usman of course but I thought realistically... probably going to be a similar result. Especially if Usman chooses to just lean and hold again... like, if he does that - yes, he will 'control' the 'fight' (leaning isn't fighting)...
But given the alchemy of all coming into this fight:
- Usman knows the win wasn't respected
- Wants to finish Masvidal
- Is disadvantaged at striking
- Masvidal hasn't had to cut extreme weight / at disadvantage
- Masvidal looks so calm, and so ready
If Usman does choose to strike as he is saying he is going to...
and given all of the above...
I am betting on Mas here.
