Who ya got and how does it go down?

I'm taking Diaz. Think his pressure and cardio will ultimately be too much in a 5 round right. Jorge has the power to put him down, but so did Pettis, McGregor, and host of others. They failed. Think Jorge will as well.

Jorge has been on a tear lately Nate looked good against Pettis.

I think Masvidal is the better boxer of the two and definitely the better kicker, if he can keep it standing, in kick boxing range ,he will out point him.

Needs to stay away from the fence, if Nate can press him with peppering combos and clinch him he will wear him down.

I think Jorges will drop him and cut him up early.

I always forget that masvidal is shorter than nate I always assume he is like 6'1" at the weigh in he also looks smaller weight wise.

The only real winner here is the UFC. They've convinced millions to watch a PPV headlined by 2 fighters who've lost a combined 24 fights.

Nah, there are lots of winners here. The UFC for sure. As cliche as it is, the fans win getting to see two “keep-it-real” fan favorites. The other fighters on the roster win by the spotlight being on two guys who always bring it, getting main event status on the biggest stage, instead of the played-out guys who trash talk their way into the limelight. Plus the victor will be the big winner by getting immediate superstar status. Lots of winners.

Nate sub round 4
Jorges submissiom defence and defensive grappling is some of the best in the division.

Imada was a one of a kind sub man. I don't think he has another loss by sub on his record, not in the last 10 years anyway, Diaz looked very sharp on the ground against Pettis, but Jorge survived Maias jiu jitsu without getting himself in trouble.

Unless he snaps something on in a flash after a knockdown he is not getting near a sub.

Whoever wins should give a shoutout to their mother... and their father (and brother, if applies).
I think they need a Son Of A Bitch belt as well
