Masvidal knows Colby is coming to wrestle (Askren). Hes also been working with Bo Nickal, we know Masvidal already had really good TDD. Also Masvidal is the better striker by light years. Coming into this fight he has this insane confidence. At first I thought Colby all day, but now Im thinking Masvidal is gonna shock the world and turn Colby into Fitch 2.0.
Rewatching both of their fights with Usman, Colby did better in every aspect of MMA. Colby outboxed Usman and I would argue in total he won 4 or 5 rounds between the 2 fights.
So that being said Colby can stand with Jorge for a certain amount of time. Be careful with his kicks. Use your boxing to set up big take downs.
Grind him out beat his ass fire him out. Submit him in the later rounds. Make him physically give up and tap out for everyone to see. Then call up Trump after the fight and drop some MAGA bombs on the libtards of the world
Jorge is a journeyman fighter, as we saw, he got absolutely molested hen he had two completely unwarranted title shots against Usman. Because redneck fanboys have latched onto him after he beat lower tier journeyman redneck fanboy favourite Nate Diaz, doesn’t mean he’s in any way capable of competing with the very elite fighters like Usman & Colby
Colby is very, very slightly below Usman in terms of skill set. He will destroy Masvidal.
If you’d like me to break it down any further let me know
Bo Nickal can’t prepare Masvidal for what Colby brings. Straight wrestler vs one of the best at mixing strikes and takedowns. Look what he did to Lawler. I expect this one to be similar.
Weaponize pace. Results similar to Lawler fight. He will touch Masvidal up with a huge amount of significant strikes. Unless Masvidal takes him out early, Colby by UD.
I think this fight is going to be a lot closer than people think. Reminds me when everyone thought giga was going to maul Kattar and everyone wrote off Kattar. Colby does have more ways to win this fight but Masvidal is no easy out. This fight will probably go the distance and be close. Just depends which Masvidal we see. If he has a great camp and is in great shape, this will be a war.
