Masvidal has shown that he researches opponents pretty good and Nate Diaz has shown that he doesn't exactly change his style this will be fun. Problem is Nate knows his reach so goddamn well it doesn't matter
I bet Masvidal tries to pressure Diaz right away and then its going to be super fun

Masvidal and Gastelum are easy money, Ivanov and Rozenstruik are good bets too imo.

Ivanov is a terrible match up for Lewis imo but I don't get why bookies would place him the favourite

Masvidal vs Diaz
I don't know Masvidal very well but isn't he supposed to easily control the fight if he is able to often kick the legs of Diaz?
He has a muay thai background and he should be able to low kick, although that's now as easy as it sounds.
Pettis couldn't really do it and as far as I remember only dos Anjos was able to employ that strategy against Diaz.
Mcgregor also managed to do it for a while in their second fight.
Till v Gastelum
I'm not sure where Till is with his weight, especially with his travel issues. Additionally, the time difference (jet lag) may have a negative effect on him as well.
Overall I think Gastelum is way more skilled and would be able to counter Till very effectively. Till's chin could be questionable as well after that KO in March, and he is gonna get hit for sure.
The odds on Gastelum are dropping which could mean that Till is not in a good situation.
