UltraBad Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 I like both, but if I had to pick I think Usman retains. This should be a good one, could go either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mannetosen Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 I'll be rooting for Masvidal, but Usman is probably gonna walk him into the fence and 50-45 him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RozzaD Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 I'd love to see Masvidal KO Usman, Askren style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damndaniel Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 Usman, UD. I think he utilizes a lot of wrestling and grinds out a decision. Masvidal may have his moments though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightmare Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 Double KO via flying knee in 5 seconds. Seriously though, Usman 50-45 50-45 50-44. Volkanovski 48-47 49-46 49-46 Yan round 3 TKO head kick and punches LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stpierrecanada Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 My brain says Usman. My heart says Masvidal. I like both guys but I’m hoping Jorge can pull it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monsieur.Camara Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 20 lbs to cut in 6 days and a trip to Emirates... Gamebred is gonna have 3-4 minutes to kill after that Usman is gonna Usman him for 5 rounds playing it safe I wish Masvidal had not accepted this but on the flip side he is getting PAID so there is that.

Mentor Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 Would love to see Masvidal win, but unfortunately it will be another one of those Usman wrestling / control fights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shards Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 I like Masvidal, I think he's in a really good spot to step up in a big way. I also just read his head coach tested positive for Covid, losing that corner and taking this fight on 6 days is pretty crazy situation.

KingEpicity Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 20 lbs to cut in 6 days and a trip to Emirates...

Luckily for him tho Usman is probably cutting that amount on weight cut day. As he probably weighs 200+ easy before prepping for his weight cut. As long as he spends the next few days working little weight off it'll be another day in office come Friday for him. Problem with that is he's spending more time on weight cut on a short notice instead of prepping for Usman without his cornerman who he is tight with, the guy whose taught him most of the techniques he uses. Meanwhile does Usman have Whitman in his corner? Mas losing Brown and Usman gaining Whitman would be a huuuge swing imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator001 Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 for one I dont believe this is normal short notice, Jorge has been training flat out to be ready for this fight, I have no doubt he is 100% ready and was training full time just in case. I am surprised Usman took it as he has everything to lose and nothing to gain, If he wins the short notice BS will come out. I am actually very impressed Usmans team took this fight on such short notice, it means they are very confident. I do think Jorge has a chance for the KO and has the better stand up but I also think Usman should win comfortably if he fights the right game plan which is pressure against the cage and work him non stop for 5 rounds 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monsieur.Camara Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 20 lbs is not a walk in the park for 6 days, 10-11 yeah that`s different but 6 is craaazy. One thing that you need to understand about cutting weight is that at a certain point you stop sweating. There is nothing left to sweat, this takes away so much of your energy and training. Masvidal has been training but those 20 lbs are going to feel like hell and will take a toll on fight night. I asked a young swedish TKD champ last year what was his favorite TKD moment of each year. It wasn`t the medals, or the wins, or the trips with teammates, or representing Sweden or his mum getting a car paid by their country. He looked at me with that lovable, cold look Swedish people give and he says: " You know when we fight in Vegas at the Westgate and after the weight-ins it`s time to eat? Well I wait all year to hit the 2 PM Buffet at the Westgate. THAT is my favorite moment in all of TKD". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mannetosen Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 Eh, cutting 20 lbs in a week isn't that uncommon for a welterweight. What makes this weird is the 11 hour plane trip to Abu Dhabi and the forced quarantine after he arrives. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator001 Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 20lbs in last week is fairly normal from WW throught to LHW When I say Jorge has been training I mean he has been training expecting to fight, he wasnt sitting on the couch eating, he was in camp which includes dieting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentor Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 Let's hope the weight cut and travel wont totally drain them for the fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambo Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 Jorge round 1 Submission, otherwise Usman by UD. So pretty much you're saying Usman by UD. Like 96% chance. Just say that. Usman by UD. ^^ my initial reaction. Now watch Jorge go out there and do some Ayoki shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RozzaD Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 cutting weight is shit but I think the 7:30 AM fight is ridiculous. It is fucking annoying that I'm living about 5 miles away from where the fights are taking place and on top of not being able to go its at that time in the morning lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xyel Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 On the one hand, I'm hyped for Mashvidal becoming a champ, but on the other hand, I'm expecting a 25 minutes wrestling UD snoozefest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gator001 Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 Usman decision opened after the fight was announced at +200 in australia. It didnt last long Masvidal made weight very easy, 6 days notice after sitting on the couch my ass lol. Some old school gamesmanship there, he hasnt been 20lbs over for a couple of weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
