Jorge Masvidal is known for his epic wins in the Octagon and his straightforward persona outside the ring. Now, he has chosen his favorite in the Diaz vs. Paul encounter. In a video released on the popular social media platform, Masvidal jumps straight to his prediction for the main event. With a bold voice resonating with undeterred confidence, he says, “After close crazy deliberation, Im gonna go with Jake on this one; I’m gonna leave him with the odds, Imma go with Jake”.

Masvidal’s prediction is accompanied by a backstory of a rich bet gone sour. He recently suffered a substantial blow, to the tune of $100,000, after his failed wager on Dustin Poirier. Despite this setback, ‘Gamebred’ adventurously steps into the betting ground again, his words holding a touch more gravity this time. Taking his string of predictions further, Masvidal confidently picks his bets for the co-headliner as well as one of the highly anticipated undercard fights.
