Masvidal vs Gaethje would be amazing

[ReasonableMMAFan]

If Jorge Masvidal still fought at LW, this would be the best fight you could make.

I'd like to see him pick and choose through the divisions easier fighters and get some more ko's, not fight any dangerous fights and get a title shot!!!

Gamebreed would tee him up all day.

Jorge checks kicks like Aldo. This would be a tougher fight than MJ.

You're insane. Masvidal doesn't finish fights.

Jorge actually knows how to pace himself and pick his shots. Gaethje is a very resilient bum so he'd probably be able to make it through the 2 first rounds but not much longer, imo.

I didn't say he finish him did I? He will dance circles around him. Stiff, no head movement and shaky chin.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Gamebred would easily beat him. Way too sharp and pinpoint with his strikes, and Justin takes MAJOR shots in every fight.

And I say that as someone who is one of Gaethjes biggest fans.

D1 All-American wrestler. Masvidal would get slept.

Masvidal is boring unless he fights an aggressive guy, so it's a good matchup.

Wrong. Gaethje's style works because of his pressure, and we all know Jorge gets lazy. He'd fold.

 

[GraveyardFilla]

We talkin Little Havana, The Boatyard or the Octagon for the venue?

 

[soulsstealer]

You cant just pick ppl from other divisions and put them down

Cerrone disagrees

Gaethje needs to embrace his wrestling, otherwise he's going to end up as a broke fighter trying to sue the UFC and start a fighters union.

 

[Guile]

Khabib beats Tony then Conor and Gaethje beats Barboza then Nate. 20-0 vs 26-0

Dana would beat him up if he went down that route

 

[Franklin U.]

Imho, Masvidal would be too much for Gaethje.....1st round overwhelming

More relevant now than it was in July 2017. A fight to make if Jorge comes back to LW. Props to the banned TS for calling for this fight over 2 years ago.

Wow, looking at these comments and realizing these were the sentiments about both of these fighters is insane considering how far they've come.

Justin has slowed down his style, becoming much more selective in his shots - which is something I saw people complaining about in other comments (His Wild Style).
Masvidal has turned into a killer, absolutely mauling people (Someone said he didn't have KO power).

I'm interested to hear if any of your thoughts have changed on this subject - although I doubt anybody here will answer considering this is now a basically dead.
