I feel a 50-45 Usman decision coming, but I hope Masvidal lights him up.

I can’t explain it. Let me start by saying I realize the obvious and respect Usman as a fighter. He’s strong and relentless and big. Usman has been training for this date and mas kind of hasn’t. I get that Usman is and rightfully so, a big favorite...

All that said, something about the robotic striking of Usman just doesn’t sit well with me. Sure mas historically is content to point fight and lose close decisions but lately he’s fighting with a different type of fire. He’s firing those body kicks and hooks with more power and I wouldn’t be shocked to see Marty get a 2 piece and a soda he didn’t order lol.

I’m still considering actually placing a bet. Literally the only thing I’m worried about is Mas cardio. He’s gotta he able to get to his feet for a few rounds if things get ugly for him.

does anyone else have this feeling or am I tripping? I’ll update this with a bet slip If I do it. Any thoughts on the chin of Usman.. am I bugging Sherbros?

Flying Knee KO would be fkng pure class if he can pull it off

It's a possibility. Jorge has been looking sharp as of late but Usman is looking like a different kind of beast as well

I do think Masvidal can and will stun Usman a few times and Usman with go with his bread and butter (wrestling) and hold Jorge down or dirty box him against the cage.

But after seeing what Jorge did last year in Vegas ( I was there live) I won't count him out. But Usman is no Ben Askren

He got clipped with a right hand. It was a clean shot but his head didn’t even hit the mat and he went to kick off with his feet and the ref flew in. He even said him self the fight was stopped early and i agree. Years later I agree even more. He got hit similar by till. They just didn’t rush and stop the fight.

yeah just saw it on youtube that punch was clean as fuck but it was a early stoppage, at least give him some time to gather himself. Mas got right up after dropping the floor

and kudos on Mas for not tapping on that scary inverted triangle choke, real man shit

His recovery-rate is literally INSANE, I can totally see why the ref in the moment jumped the gun and stopped it early.

He gets hit with a completely flush step-in power straight right while trying to time a check-hook and it looks like he is completely limp for a split-second as he's falling....but before he hits the ground he comes to so his head doesn't snap back, is defending with his feet, and instantly gets back to them post-stoppage without wobbling.

Durable as a mofo.

I think he can hit and hurt Usman. I'm not sure he can prevent Usman from smothering him and recovering though and I think that's where the fight is lost for Masvidal

Well said.

To me, Kamaru just has more paths to victory. He doesn’t have many glaring weaknesses. He’s got a strong chin, good striking, strong clinch work, persistent takedowns, heavy top game, and good cardio.

Mas, in my opinion, could absolutely win if Usman opted to fight the way he fought Colby. But that Colby fight was waged in that way because they respected each other’s wrestling strength in my opinion.

if he struggles to take the good grappler Masvidal down, he will pin him against the fence and stay active hitting him with knees and short shots like he did Woodley.

It seems unlikely Jorge will be able to stifle all the takedowns. Usman will not give him a lot of space to work with and I feel Jorge needs that space to beat Usman.

Have to see how Mas looks at the weigh ins. His face looked kinda chubby in that Ariel interview. Mas not being in ripped he wont be as fast or hit as hard. Got to see how he looks at the weigh ins before i bet

Mas carries a lot of water weight, I have the same problem.

I feel exactly the same. In the interview he sounded like he knew this would happen so let’s hope he’s in great shape. Maybe it’s his beard lol. Either way I’m pumped. I’m with you If he looks good on the scale I’m gonna bet.

 

[OverhandRight]

Has Usman ever been rocked? I know his only loss is a RNC by Caceres of all people, but other than that, I cant think of a time he has been in trouble.

Colby hit him with some shots in the 4th that made him slightly wobble.

So there is no way he is taking flush Masvidal shots and not being in major trouble; likely going to see tons of clinch/grind to wear down the arms early, maybe some Khabib/McG tactics (leg-lace legs on early takedowns to grind on him), would not be surprised if first round is a throwaway round to make Masvidal gas his arms out.

Why the concern about Masvidals cardio? He was still looking fresh in round 4 of the Diaz fight and throwing with power still. I really am confused by all this trash talking of his cardio.

 

[strebitel86]

cheers.

He had a proper camp for that fight. This is short notice. That’s literally all. I don’t question his cardio when I know he’s ready. I just wonder with short notice and Covid... is he ready

 

[DoopidyDawesome]

I think Masvidal certainly can. Marty was getting hit regularly by pillow-fisted Colby. If Jorge can land anywhere close to that many clean shots, Usman will be snoozin' quick.

Huh! He will hit even harder if he has more weight. In powerlifting fatter people are stronger and have more power. You are right though he won’t be as fast, and most likely his cardio will suffer. Also his physique might be an indication he hasn’t been training much or as hard so his timing and skills might not be the same either.

We will only know once we see him fight night.

Bullshit?<Lmaoo><Lmaoo><Lmaoo>

Cool gif bro. Post the video. He hit the ground and starts to defend with his feet instantly and the ref stopped it. He wasn’t out. Lmao wanna see some gifs of pat Barry knocking out Kongo? Come on now lol

Shitty vid quality but here it's timestamped



Ridiculously early stoppage, ref gave Mas zero chance to defend. Especially egregious since Mas dropped Damm earlier and the ref was nowhere to be found

[Ukrainianmma]

His only chance is a hail marry knee during Snoozeman shooting

All the hardest hitters are ripped guys. I'm usually around 10-12% bodyfat. But sometimes I'm heavier at 13-15%, and I can tell you i definitely hit way harder while lean
