GDT: UFC 258: Usman vs. Burns

[YNWA14]

Yeah that was one of the weirdest rounds I can remember. Burns rocked Usman and then laid on his back for like how long? So weird. Burns is sharp but I just think Usman is too powerful, and not in that he he's going to come out of the gates and blast you but he's just gonna walk you down behind a powerful jab, wrestle if he needs to, and he has great discipline/cardio. He's a physical specimen with great gameplanning and again, discipline.

 

[Chaels Arms]

Leon is smart for pushing hard to stay on the March card. If he can get a win against anyone he's probably next up.

 

[LyricalLyricist]

Burns needed to pressure Usman more after he rocked him in the 1st.

I REALLY hate Usman, but that was a solid win.

Usman can be super cringe when he tries to sound cool but otherwise he's alright.

 

[I am not exposed]

I think it’s basically just Wonderboy

Nah, Usman will wrestle him to death. And I don't think Wonderboy could knock him out either.

oh I didn’t think wonderboy would win, I think he’s just basically the only top guy that Usman hasn’t beaten in the division

Usman would completely neutralize him

 

[K Fleur]

Exciting fight and great performance for Usman.

Still find the guy super cringe.

 

[m9]

Burns with a great start in the first round. Looked so fast on the feet and probably should have kept the fight there. Does give the thought that maybe someone with speed can give Usman problems.

But Usman was great the rest of the way. So powerful with the jab.

Very good fight.

Didn't think much of the rest of the card. Went kind of as expected.

Agreed. Usman doesn't want any of that Wonderboy standup. He'll just wrestle the whole time.

 

[Chaels Arms]

Usman gives off the same vibes of early Yankees Alex Rodriguez. Incredible athlete and probably a decent guy but just comes off as kind of stuck up and entitled.

It comes off as fake, like he’s playing a character and he’s not good at it.

If he’d just be himself I bet people would like him a lot more.

 

[LyricalLyricist]

Not fond of Usman calling out Jorge. Jorge is the least qualified guy for a title, just a guy on a streak that ended but more of a 'money fight'.

 

[bov]

Aside from the first couple minutes, Usman looked pretty damn good for someone who is a dominant wrestler. I agree that he doesn't get enough respect, this guy is one of the best p4p fighters in the game. His standup game does have holes but he still finds a way to win no matter where the fight takes place.

 

[crazychimp]

I think Kamaru has the better striking. They'll cancel each other out in the grappling department.

My predictions have been on point lately. I need to start betting on these fights lol.

 

[YNWA14]

I wish Khabib had gone up to fight Usman.

it’s like he’s trying to be unlikable but he’s bad at it so it comes across as fake and it’s cringey, so he’s like an inauthentic good guy and that’s a hard thing to be able to comprehend

 

[LyricalLyricist]

It comes off as fake, like he’s playing a character and he’s not good at it.

It's a horrible character. He's a genuine person then he gets in front of a camera for an interview and acts like he's super cool.

Dude, its not you. Chill.

Colby plays a character but you know its a character and its meant to be over the top. Usman tries to be humble and cocky at same time, its weird.

 

[BobColesNasalCavity]

100% I like him but he tries too hard at being philosophical and that bullshit.

 

[h2]

I hope Khamzat is legit and ends Usman. There just doesn't seem like there's much at welterweight right now. Use to be one of the deeper divisions, I don't think that's the case right now.

 

[crazychimp]

I wish Khabib had gone up to fight Usman.

That would be a really interesting fight actually, Khabib has cleaned out the LW division if he comes back it should be at WW.

 

[I am not exposed]

Not fond of Usman calling out Jorge. Jorge is the least qualified guy for a title, just a guy on a streak that ended but more of a 'money fight'.

He just fought him and smothered him for 5 rounds. Not a rematch anyone wants to see.

Meh to be fair Masvidal has been talking a ton of smack about their fight so I'm OK with the call out. It's not the fight that should happen based on merit though I agree.

 

[LyricalLyricist]

The one thing Woodley did right vs Usman:

3:30 to 3:50

 

[I am not exposed]

Covid could have messed that up.

 

[h2]

Covid could have messed that up.

Yeah I heard that, hopefully he recovers.

 

[YNWA14]

**** it. GSP should ask Khabib to fight Usman and then winner gets GSP. Let's go.
