Masvidal ain’t jumping for no knee against burns. This isn’t askren. He will do it against a wrestler because he believes he can get back up and not take too much damage in the process. He wants nothing to do with being on his back against burns

My breakdown for the co main

Predictions: 5 of 12 Winners, 2 Perfect, 300 Points   |   Tied for 4404th

Ok This Fight Right Here stylistically I feel is a nightmare for Jorge Masvidal Gilbert Burns Has way to many ways to win this fight Masvidal only chance of winning is to catch Burns early and if he doesn’t as the fight goes longer I feel Gilbert is just going to drown Masvidal now Masvidal has the power to knockout anybody at 170 so you have to respect Masvidals power you have to if he catches you its a wrap but I’m just not seeing it here against Burns and if the fight hits the ground its game over for Masvidal he will get strangled by Burns witch I feel is the outcome I got and my final prediction Gilbert Burns Round 1 Arm Triangle pretty much same thing he did to Neil Magny Masvidal hasn’t shown me anything in the wrestling department except that that’s his biggest weakness and I just don’t see Gilbert standing with Masvidal

Burns doesn’t seem to have outstanding cardio. There’s no edge in that department for either guy. It’s a simple breakdown. Better grappler vs better striker. Both are aging. Slight speed edge for masvidal maybe? Burns isn’t an elite wrestler masvidal has decent takedown defence. The odds are longer than they should be because I do think burns can only win with takedowns or atleast the threat of the takedown to keep masvidal honest on the feet

Masvidal got so lucky with that flying knee KO he did to Askren. 8/10 Askren rags him

I understand what Burns is doing, but he really needs to do a lot more if he wants to get that title shot and convince Dana.
