Colby went full distance with usman and seems to have a better cardio, wrestling and ground game. But jorge very lethal in the earlier rounds.

      I think Masvidal is less civil than he claims to be, but Colby is less brave than he claims to be. They both are deceptive. One is better at hiding his evil, the other is worse at pretending to be a badass. They both suck and they are both entertaining. They can be both.

What made him the star is his story (20+ year vet pushing towards title), but most importantly who he is and who he represents. His personality and character (according to the people that know him). He’s street life that went straight, and realized his potential while mostly keeping who he is as a person intact. For a while he started letting the game get to his head and started acting a little out of character. That’s expected with fame and power, but Usman humbled him a few notches and I think he realized that changing who you are doesn’t matter if you don’t win, so why not stay true to yourself win or lose?

  • @kriskorat
    @kriskorat Před 2 lety +262

    Here’s the thing.. When Masvidal fought Usman for the first time, he did a decent job defending takedowns. For the second fight he invested everything into wrestling and cardio and ignored the standup game because Usman’s punches in the first fight didn’t affect him. And the fact that we didn’t get to see his wrestling improvement because of K.O. early on makes this fight really interesting. I think Colby will not take him down as many times as he thinks, but we have to see it to know it. Masvidal was being overconfident, cocky in the second fight with Usman. There was some beef, but it wasn’t real, so Masvidal was putting on a performance and underestimated Usman’s stand up game. Which is normal since Usman didn’t show his power after 5 rounds in the first fight. With Colby I don’t see Masvidal laughing and trying to be a clown. I see him being serial killer that wants to tear up Colby, because it’s that serious. I think Masvidal really wants to end this dude inside and outside the cage..

      I agree, him getting finished so quickly in the second fight didn't allow us to see how much his wrestling has improved. Bo Nickal is more accomplished than Colby and Usman. Really, that's all that needs to be said, because he's sharpening his skills with a guy that would beat both. There's no way that if you compete with a high level fighter in any discipline you're going to develop in leaps and bounds. Yeah you're gonna get dominated hard for a long time, but you're getting better.

      He may not be lying but he’s using Jon Jones as a source when slandering Colbys character. Unbelievably ironic

    Really excited for this fight!!!! I feel like Colby is gonna want to stand with Jorge and really want to knock him out, but shouldnt cuz Jorge has the advantage on the feet, so I think Colby is really gonna have to mainly wrestle the first few rounds to take some of that power away from Jorge then I think the striking will open up for him. But I think Colby will always be his best when he’s non stop coming forward with pressure shooting for takedowns.

      I don't know who's in the wrong. But you ask me I'll be more likely to believe that Jorge wasn't feeling too comfortable with Colby's success. I'm not judging anybody, I think it makes sense, especially between 2 very competitive individuals at their level.
      But to be fair, it can also be bias. I used to love Jorge but since his stuff with Jake Paul I lost my respect for him
