As long as Kamaru doesn't try and prove something by standing and trading with Masvidal, then it should be a comfortable win for him.

He needs to grind him out like last time. Kamaru gets hit entirely too much. He relies too much on his granite chin and can get into firefights. Masivdal will be attempting to counter-strike the whole night; punch get out of range and avoid Usman with footwork. Journeyman or not, the guy has never been finished as a fighter and is hard to catch clean.

If Usman abandons his gameplan and tries to strike he could lose. I can see maybe him trying to stand and trade for the first 2 rounds and grinding him out for the last 3. I could see an Usman finish via ground work if he can keep enough pressure on Mas and have him fighting backwards.

I think Jorge will do better in this rematch without the short notice and being able to cut weight easier this time around, but I still think Usman gets it done via decision since he's great at controlling where the fight goes
