I think Diaz should take this, assuming he's still the same fighter he was 4 years ago. ---
BetOnline released betting lines for the matchup and listed Diaz as a +135 underdog. Masvidal, the No. 9-ranked welterweight in the world, has opened as a +155 favorite.
Although Diaz may be considered the better fighter in the eyes of many combat sports fans, the Californian hasn’t fought since his controversial No Contest against Anderson Silva in 2015.

Also, Jake Shields explains why Diaz bros haven't fought: https://www.bjpenn.com/mma-news/exc...why-the-diaz-brothers-havent-fought-in-years/
Weird that he'd take the Masvidal fight if he's looking for money.
Hold up. Why is he the underdog at +135 and opponent is +155?
Eh Diaz hasn’t won since 2011 and he’s been out for almost 4 years. His fighting style never changes and there is a formula to beat him. Masvidal on the other hand is one of those guys who is well rounded but always try to fight to the opponent’s strengths
Condit did the amazing never before thought of technique of circling against a slow footed fighter who refuses to adapt and becomes an easy target because he stops coming forward & does almost nothing once he gets frustrated except flip somebody off or stick his hands in the air. And Condit predictably one and his opponent and fans haven't stopped crying about it over half a decade later.
Nope, Condit did the technique "Velociraptor in Jurassic Park": Throwing himself on the fence, trying to locate a weak spot so he could escape.Condit did the amazing never before thought of technique of circling against a slow footed fighter who refuses to adapt and becomes an easy target because he stops coming forward & does almost nothing once he gets frustrated except flip somebody off or stick his hands in the air.

If Masvidal's last three opponents would have been Condit, GSP and Anderson he would be 0-3 as well.
Nick has a size advantage, boxing advantage, cardio advantage and has done better against mutual opponents
The only real question here is if Nick is still the same after 4 years of partying.
Came to say this^^^This may be a big assumption, right?
The line is very understandable given the layoff, IMO.
-fixed your postIf he's an underdog on mine I'm putting money on Nick.
Gamebred has too much balls to play the Condit 'running game'.
Nick wins in a scrapfest.
