Bellator middleweight champion Johnny Ablin spoke out about the mixed martial arts veteran's chances Jorge Masvidal in big boxing.
“I think Jorge misses fighting and I’m glad he’s testing the waters again. Especially since he plans to compete in boxing, this will be a great chance for him to add to his legacy and just stay relevant.
I think he will surprise a lot of people in a boxing match. This guy has boxing and he's damn good. In MMA, many of his problems were due to opponents trying to take him to the ground. In boxing, throws are prohibited, you will have to fight your opponent in a standing position,” MMA Weekly quotes Eblin.
It was previously reported that Masvidal could share the ring with Nate Diaz in March.
