The fight will take place on April 25
The main event of this weekend will be the UFC 261 series of fights, which will include a title fight for the welterweight championship. Belt winner Kamaru Usman will face contender Jorge Masvidal. According to Parimatch analysts the champion has 78% to win. This is not surprising, because not so long ago Usman defeated Masvidal. It was last July when the judges gave Qamar the win by unanimous decision.
Jorge is 36, Kamaru is 33 (turning 34 on May 11), but Masvidal has had many more fights. Jorge had 49 fights in which he won 35 victories and lost 14 more times. Usman’s stats are 18 wins in 19 fights.
Usman boasts good physical preparation and wrestling, but, recently, he has improved his work in the stand. Although, sometimes it still feels not quite confident. Jorge is more charismatic, his fights are brighter, thanks to which he has won a lot of fans. He fights to the last, works well in the stance. He knows how to fight, but this is clearly not his forte.
It is not for nothing that Kamaru is considered the main contender for victory, in many respects he surpasses Jorge. But a fighter like Masvidal will definitely give Usman a lot of problems and will do everything to catch the champion. The judges are unlikely to give the victory to Jorge, so he will try not to bring the fight to this point and try to win ahead of schedule.
