Al Iaquinta’s controversial split-decision victory over Jorge Masvidal at UFC Fight Night 63 might not have been the resounding win he was hunting for, but the Serra-Longo protégé can take comfort in the fact that he is officially on a four-fight winning streak in the sport’s most talent-stacked division.
Regardless of how one scored the fight, Iaquinta’s ability to compete on even terms with a skilled veteran like Masvidal was undoubtedly an eye-opener for some—including me and everyone else on the prediction team.
The 27-year-old has improved almost beyond measure since his time on The Ultimate Fighter and deserves an opportunity to test his skills against someone in or around the division’s top 10. Who will provide that test? Read on and indulge me as I ponder that very question.
