Masvidal will win.

 

[J180]

This what happens when fighters put themselves in the position of saying they would say "Yes" to any fight. Bobby Green should have declined this. Unless it's just a money move, and there was no other option as soon for him.

 

[Arkridge]

Makes no sense. Should be green vs Cerrone.

Lazy matchmaking here. I hate when Joe Silva puts two guys together who won on the same card.

Cerrone is available and he's higher ranked then Masvidal. He would have been a logical matchup for Green.

Masvidal, meanwhile, should have fought someone like Michael Jordan or Edson Barboza.

 

[HuntersCreed]

This match up doesn't excite me too much. I will be looking for Jorge to pick up a win.

 

[BJ@LW&WW]

Edison Barbados would beat both these guys.

God I hope Masvidal wins.

Damn, I hate this fight. Really like both guys and wish they were matched differently. That being said, I give Masvidal the wrestling and strength advantage and Green the striking and speed advantage. Tough one to call!!

Wut?

 

[KDog13]

Dam I like both guys, wish they could of built up both :-( . Should be a good fight though!

 

[MMABr]

Masvidal IMO.

oh man, this card is too good

 

[Mikeyz]

Green by decision.

 

[FrankMirFan89]

lmao.

Sorry...Michael JOHNSON.

 

[trane]

Doesn't really make sense in my opinion

 

[Shael]

This fight will likely be primarily stand up, should be interesting. Masvidal may be able to press Bobby back and find more success than Josh.

 

[BlancaDiablo]

Green is ready to fight Pettis

Good fight. I'm a fan of both guys.

I think Green might have the edge here. He's faster and more mobile than Jorge and I'm not sure Masvidal gets a TD. I think that'll let him pick his shots more and he'll end up a bit more active than the sometimes not so urgent Masvidal. Both guys are pretty good boxers and I could see either coming out on top there but I feel like Green's other tools give him the edge there. Jorge has good kicks but Green throws more of them in general.

Green's higher workrate could be very telling. Masvidal is often rather hesitant to let his strikes go.
