Check this out. It is finally official. We will be watching both these fighters for the championship bout. I am sure the negotiations must have been a nightmare but it is finally done. This is a win-win for Masvidal. As I am sure he must have been preparing for Usman and even if he loses this one he can always fall back to 6 days notice reason and if he does win he becomes the BMF + UFC champion. What a career turn-around for Masidal that will be. From fighting in Kimbo Slice backyard to winning the UFC gold.
Who do you see as winning this bout?
This is a really hard one to predict! This fight is going to be nuts!!! I wonder how Jorge deals with Usman's strength especially in the wrestling, I wonder how Usman deals with the striking of Jorge. At the same time Jorge is a good wrestler and Usman is becoming a very good striker with good power. This is a huge title fight!! Sorry no prediction but man I'm pumped
if I was a betting man i would bet on Usman for sure. But yes it is gonna be exciting to see how Mas deals with Usman. Not to mention Mike Brown, the head coach of Masvidal and Dustin Poirier is a master strategist.
I lean towards Usman to, but I was wrong about Masvidal a lot over the years. Seriously can't count that guy out! Masvidal used to train wrestling with Covington too. I know Covington got beat by Usman, but no wrestling occured either. So many factors, I feel like this will be a memorable fight. Might not be a straight up war, but it should be really good!
oh yeah, mas did use to train with Covington as well. nice point. pumped for this fight.
yes! A perfect mid-summer fight!
