masvidal win? till is huge!

I think Masvidal has value, till is huge but Masvidal boxing is pretty good and he is at +220 so I am going to bet on him for sure. Gunnar is at +135, I think he has some value too.

There is not too much difference between them

According to wikipedia Till is 6 ft 0 in (183 cm) and Masvidal is 5 ft 11 in (1.80 m). I thought Till was too much taller than masvidal.

They have the same reach as well

I just bet on Masvidal and Gunnar. GL to me

Should be a lot of MMA boxing in this fight which gives Masvidal lots of chances. Still think Till will take it. He doesn't use that size advantage to wear people down with wrestling or whatnot but I'm sure it helps with the fact that he has a lot more pop on his shots than Jorge. Think even if Jorge boxes Till up several minutes here and there, Till will catch/hurt Jorge at some point and we'll see a dramatic decrease in offense from Jorge

Gunnar > Edwards

Hope Reyes wins. Just because we've seen Volkan's ceiling. Not yet for Reyes. Best hope to dethrone Jon Jones

Darren Till (171) vs. Jorge Masvidal (171)
Leon Edwards (170) vs. Gunnar Nelson (170.5)
Volkan Oezdemir (205) vs. Dominick Reyes (206)
Nathaniel Wood (135.5) vs. Jose Alberto Quinonez (135.5)

Maybe i'm crazy but i think this could be one of the worst matchup for Masvidal. He doesn't have the TDD to keep it standing.

Yeah he should only fight strikers, but Dana White said that he is looking for a fight between Masvidal and Dos Anjos
