According to the recent announcement of UFC President Dana White, UFC 261 will have a very monumental Fight Card with 3 belt matches in 3 different weight classes: Welterweight championship, Kamaru Usman vs Jorge Masidal 2; Female Flyweight Belt, Valentina Shevchenko vs Jessica Andrade; WOMEN WOMEN WOMEN WOMEN WOMEN WeILI ZHANG vs Rose Namajunas.
In it, the competition between Kamaru Usman and Jorge Masvidal received the attention of many viewers. The two boxers confronted each other last year, at UFC 251. After 5 rounds, Jorge Masvidal lost to the point in front of the defending champion Usman. So with this rematch, will there be any other unexpected results?
“I am slightly in favor of Jorge Masvidal to win the rematch,” Stephen Thompson said on the Submission Radio.
“Observing their first match, it was clear that Masvidal did not play badly in the first half, he resisted well, very hard to keep the match in the position of fighting. Camp, Masvidal will show much better. “
In addition, another reason for Stephen Thompson to trust Jorge Masvidal is a very diverse Skill Set board, enough to make the opponent unable to predict the path of the BMF champion. Compared to Masvidal, Thompson commented that the defending champion Welterweight Kamaru Usman “nothing is too special”.
“It is quite difficult to guess what Masvidal will suddenly launch on the stage. For example, the match with Ben Askren, everyone believes that Askren will beat Masvidal to play, and then Bum, Masvidal makes a Knockout ending the match right in the first half.
