Shane’s Free Pick

I don’t think it’s going to be long until Masvidal hangs up the gloves, and it could happen after this fight. Masvidal isn’t going to be able to take the pressure off Burns, and that is going to be the difference here as Masvidal is going to get finished in that fight. Back Burns to win this fight by knockout.
