Conor beat Cowboy much easier than Jorge did Jorge has a much better chin, boxing skills and gas tank than Cowboy though Would be an all around solid match up I have Jorge by TKO in the later rounds Khabib Bless
50/50 fight. Masvidal l is a little bigger and thus he prob has a slight strength and power advantage but not by much. Meanwhile Conor to me is the more accurate and pinpoint striker. It's going to be a stand up fight and I feel either one is very capable of beating the other.
Im going with Conor but Id have to be an idiot to think that this wont be a really tough fight. Jorge is a fucking badass
Masvidal should win this fight comfortably. He actually uses movement, cuts good angles on his punches, excellent in the clinch, and has a good chin. He also has very fast and powerful hands. Also, his boxing defense is very good as well. Basically, the opposite of big fight cowboy. And unlike cowboy, he actually wins big fights, and doesn't freeze up, and look like a complete noob.
Masvidal fucks him up IMO. The early rounds will be competitive, Conor might even drop Masvidal once or twice, but I don't think he will be able to actually finish it.
Conor has a speed and accuracy advantage. Jorge is better at pacing himself and grappling. very interesting fight i'm 50/50 on that.
Conor is just too good in the opening rounds. Unless Masvidal stalls and brings his singlet, he's not lasting more than 2 rounds.
It's a huge money fight. I think they are likely to book it. Exciting matchup for sure with Masvidal having a better chance for victory in my opinion but the issue being in doubt.
