UFC 251: Usman v. Masvidal

Who will WIN this FIGHT?

Kamaru Usman (NGR)

Jorge Masvidal (USA)

 

Current odds:

Kamaru Usman: (-275)

Jorge Masvidal: (+225)

 

Masvidal has underrated wrestling, good takedown defense, and he has sharper strikes. Masvidal toggles between lightning fast starts or almost getting knocked out. In other words, round one will likely set the tone for how this fight will play out.

On the wrestling side, for as much as Masvidal has great takedown defense, Usman has phenomenal wrestling and incredible positional grappling. If he can effectively pressure Masvidal and get him towards the fence then it’ll likely be a long night for Jorge, who will find it remarkably hard to reverse Usman or get back to his feet without Kamaru immediately pursuing another takedown.
