As is the case with every major fight card, the pros are chiming in with their respective predictions and Jorge Masvidal was recently asked about his thoughts about the UFC 246 main event by ESPN.
Gamebred astutely broke down the fight by weighing in the strengths, weaknesses and fighting patterns of both fighters. He stated that McGregor comes off the block quicker while Cerrone is traditionally known to be a slow starter. He explained how Cowboy would hold the edge as the fight goes longer if he uses his grappling skills.
McGregor has had difficulties dealing with wrestlers in the past and Masvidal felt Cerrone can exploit the glaring chink in the Irishman’s gameplan.
Masvidal, however, gave McGregor the advantage if Cerrone decides to strictly keep it a stand-up affair for the first few rounds. He even added that Mcgregor could get the job done within two rounds if they engage in a striking battle.
