McGregor/title shot ruled out as next for Masvidal

Left Elbow Leon is grossly underrated compared to the 2 and 2 from his last 4 Masvidal. 

Edwards is going to maul Masdival.  It's been a long time since I watched someone with so much composure, stamina, distance control, with effective elbows.  He reminds me of T-Ferg.  If Askren wins his next fight, and Masdivial loses I hope they offer Askren the rematch.  I'd put $500 on Askren winning in a rematch.

 

I've also not hated a fighter more than Masdival.  He had one of the most impressive KOs in UFC history and ruined it with his childish post fight in ring antics, post fight interview, and follow up interviews.  It showed the maturity of a pubescent child and is uncalled for in a sport that started with integrity.  Say what you want about Conor but after he starched Aldo he was humble, and even more humble in defeat.  

"It's been a long time since I watched someone with so much composure, stamina, distance control, with effective elbows"

 

HAHAHAHAHAHA. 

There are 2 things Edwards does well, clinch/elbows, and long power kicks. Some fights Edwards wins entirely via clinching/in the clinch. Other fights, it's his long rear power kick. No one, but him and his team, know which way he will try to fight Masvidal. But I can tell you this much, IF he tries to get his kicks going against Masvidal, Masvisal will tear him apart

Masvisal is absolutely fantastic at catching/parrying kicks and answering back with punches. It's how he single handedly destroyed Cowboy. I need to find fights Masvidal has had with clinch heavy fighters to see how good Masvidal truly is in the clinch, but with his background, my initial assumption is that Masvidal will be able to handle himself intight against Edwards in the clinch.

If you fight Edwards, stay in close to him, do not let him create space to elbow, or break and elbow. I have been wanting to see a boxer who would just put his head underneath Edwards chin, smoother/control his posture, and hammer away with body shots. IF Nate Diaz could get inside of Edwards kicks, he would be a great match up against Edwards in the clinch (with his boxing IQ/control/body punching). I hope Masvidal recognizes this and does the same. Masvidal with the right gameplan COULD be a perfect fighter to expose Edwards. catch and counter his kicks. Discourage his kicks. Get in, put him to the fence, control his posture with head positioning (boxing), and beat him up to the body

Edwards vs Masvidal is a great fight. It's another fight where there is no clear favorite in my mind. If you think Edward's runs away with it, I really think you need to reevaluate Masvidal's record. His only losses are super close fights. There is is no reason to belive this won't be incredibly competitive and I personally give the edge to Masvidal. He has more ways to win.
