(<[Official Poll]>) What Odds Are You Giving Masvidal VS Covington??

[GearSolidMetal]

We've been discussing this fight happening for years and its finally happening. So after all the hype, interviews, press conferences, and etc who's your favorite?

Simply put - What are the chances you give to each fighter is going to win?

No, you cannot change your vote. Read the options carefully.

No need to post the stats of each fighter, because you already have an opinion of which fighter has the overall advantage and is probably going to win. The poll is to determine if the consensus is if this is an even fight, or if one fighter has a slight/large advantage, or if one fighter is practically guaranteed victory and the other has no chance.

*You can only see the results after you vote.
*Your vote will be kept private so no one will see your answer unless you post it in the thread.
*Poll closes at 2 hours after the PPV begins, which will probably be just before both fighters begin walking to the cage.
*No, you cannot change your vote. Read the options carefully.

This thread is going to be bumped multiple times throughout the next 2 days and the poll will close right before the fight starts.

that poll is a mess

Actually, the first time I did this kind of poll it was a mess, for the first rematch of McGregor VS Poirier in 2021. Now its completely organized.

You could see it as 50/50 but still have a preference though.

 

[wildchild88]

You can tell from the talk in the lead up that Colby owned him in the gym..

Colby going to break him eventually..

Hoping for a Mas K.O. though..

Then vote for the odds for your preference of winning.

But if you don't think that is the likeliness of outcome? That's what I base my odds on.

 

[Herwald]

It is Colby's fight to lose.

 

[Post 2 Decision]

Colby should win handily

Journeyman George needs to land a hail Mary shot to win.

90% chance Colby
No less than 80% Colby, he wins at least 4/5 times

*Sigh*

Vote, or don't vote.

I really don't care either way.

Bud, I'm just telling you something you can take into account for your next poll. Just some valid criticism. Not trying to give you shit.

 

[HeDidn'tWantTheFight]

Colby's the rightful favorite, and he's the smart pick.

Masvidal's a live dog though, and him pulling out a KO wouldn't be the most shocking thing we've ever seen.

 

[ExitLUPin]

60 or so % for Jorge

He's a better clinch fighter so Colby won't be able to wall n stall like Usman the first fight with Jorge. Usman is bigger, stronger and a much better clinch fighter than Colby.

Colby doesn't have power either and Usman has shown a control game with his wrestling than Colby hasn't. Colby takes fighters down normally then wears on em. They get up and rinse and repeat to tire them out with volume. He's not controlling Jorge and Jorge is better in the clinch and will go to the body a lot which Colby doesn't defend well.

The success RDA had when he almost beat Colby Jorge will be able to replicate. But Jorge is bigger, more explosive and powerful than RDA and a better WW in general.

Covington gonna blanket all over Masvidal for that no matter what it takes W

 

[315MMAFighter]

I hope Mas lands a Knee similar to how he did Askren.

 

[GearSolidMetal]

I hope Mas lands a Knee similar to how he did Askren.

That trick can only work once. Everybody's been looking out for it ever since.

And Covington's not the type to immediately go to wrestling an opponent after the opening bell, which was Askren's habit.

 

[SmoothPies]

70/30 for Colby, or 60/40 for Colby make the most sense to me.

Colby's wrestling and pressure should grind out a win against Masvidal, but his striking is sloppy enough for Masvidal to catch him at some point throughout 25 minutes

 

[Kung Fu Kowboy]

80% Covington holds him against the cage for 25 minutes.
