Masdival is slightly underrated right now

Masdival is definitely underrated like everyone who loses the belt fight. Sherdoggers want him to retire already. Versus a striker, Masdival is still very high level. Unfortunately, fighting grapplers/wrestlers will never make him look good.
 
I don't think Masdival has shown any decline at all. Just bad matchups.
He looked like shit in this last fight. He looked so drained and maybe the 50 + fights have caught up to him.

That is because it is striker versus grappler and Masdival isn't a large WW. Masdival finished Diaz before these three fights versus grapplers. That was only the second time Diaz has been finished in his UFC career.
 
Is Masvidal top 10 quality rn?
I'd rank Usman, Colby, Leon, Luque, and Burns over him for sure.
Then there's the young guys like Shavkat, Brady, and Khamzat who can probably beat him as well.
He did lose to wonderboy so even though their recent performances have been similar, I'd put wonderboy above him.
Then there's the journeymen Belal, Magny, Pereira, and Chiesa who are probably around Masvidal's level. I'd rank him anywhere from 9th to 13th strongest 170 right now.
