Jorge has a punchers chance. He doesn’t posses the same skill set as Usman.
I feel youif there was more striking I could probably get into it, but too many times you just watch some guy on top of another for 5 minutes on the ground.
I commended Hooker and Poirier for standing in the paint exchanging blows like that. Both guys looked like they were about to drop but had the heart to keep exchanging blows.The last few cards since lockdown have been great. There have been some flat out slugfest. Did you all watch the Hooker vs Poirier fight on the last cards main event? Those dudes went to war with each other.
Thanks, I’ll try Sportsurge.net.I vowed to never buy another ppv after ufc 149. Biggest crock of **** i ever paid for. Besides the tickets to the teddy Louisville vs Miami bowl game or chad henne throwing two pick sixes to lose to the lions in the last 4 mins.
Sportsurge.net usually does me right. Crackstreams hasn't been on there for a while but if you can find it it's usually 1080p and no lag.

The way Hooker slipped out of the headlock in the 3rd was awesome. Then in the 4th it looked like Poirier had an arm bar locked in, and I’m not going to lie, I turned my head because it looked like Hookers arm was about to snap. I have no idea how Hooker was able to bend his arm and get out of that.
I hope you are right.Masvidal will win by way of baptism.
The good thing regarding the weight cut, is that Masvidal doesn't weigh much more than 170 naturally anyway. The reason he's at 170 is because he was tired of cutting to 155, and he would rather just maintain a more natural weight for himself. Most other guys at 170 probably can balloon up close to 200 lbs, whereas I'd be surprised if Masvidal even gets to 185.I think Gamebread is ready for this fight. Cutting weight in a week is going to be hard but I think he has fully been preparing for this fight, he has been studying Usman and knows what to expect and will be ready. Over in the third from and over hand right.
The old video of Colby Covington rag dolling Jorge for half an hour and basically clowning him - from a wrestling only perspective- scares me. If I'm in Ussaman's corner I'm playing the power wrestling game for 5 rounds.Don’t sleep on Masvidal.
Usman is the favorite for a reason. He has a strong mind, strong body and is a top wrestler. But this isn’t 2005. Masvidal trains with elite wrestlers and is a complete striker with technique and range. Usman can’t just shoot a double.
Masvidal hasn’t been tested by a wrestler like Usman (Askren fight was over before it started) and Usman hasn’t fought a striker like Masvidal. His run has come against grapplers.
Pick ‘em fight for me. The key will be whether Usman gets Masvidal to respect his power, which will set up clinch and takedowns.

Usman's injuries will eventually catch up with him, too. He's never fully rehabbed. idk if it'll be against Masvidal with Masvidal coming in on short notice, but eventually.
Masvidal has a punchers chance. He's a wild man and he'll have something for him. He's has got to come out and be unpredictable. If Usman controls the fight and the pressure (the likeliest outcome of this fight, IMO, he's spooky in the ring), might be a long night for Masvidal. Going to be a good fight. Curious to see the buy rate on the fight. This is a real deal mega card.
I think Usman gets him. He's been camping for a while and I'm sure he's got some training for Masvidal in during that time as they were building to this a while back.

Well that's not goodJorge was walking at 192 on Saturday. The weight cut is going to be substantial and his second trainer Mike Brown won’t be at Jorge’s corner after tested positive for COVID.
Jorge also stated today he is not at his best shape which is worrisome when facing a relentless wrestler/ ground game.
That being said, Jorge strike game and improved takedown defense give him a great chance.
Tough battle but he can overcome
