Masvidals striking probably forced the strategy. Props to him but he didn't have a response to the wrestling and got a game plan executed on him with no response. He tried to play possum for a flash ko but it didn't didn't help.
Well it did, he landed a couple of good head shots in the first. No matter what anybody says, usman is still a wrestler trying to strike.

What helped is Usman had the reach to keep striking from that angle even when mas tried to create distance

Gsp had long ass arms too. Helped him wrap the legs for those takedowns ankle pic single leg etc. Usman like jones using em to his advantage in the clinch

He mixes em up with stomps and shoulders. Ain't let I'm rest

I don't see how that's boring.

The man is getting pulverized

Its not like he couldn't try and circle out. He was getting rest and paying for it by the second with pain. Mas is a tank

The only thing about the fight that bugged me out was usman putting his corner man in a clinch while getting advice between rounds all closey close

Was that to let the blood drain out his arms?

You don't wanna sit fam?

Or like bisbing said

"They look real close"

Biggest card since Khabib/Conor.

Jorge probably gonna take the rest of the year off after a career best payday then get a money fight with Nate/Conor when they "un-retire" for the 400th time early next year. Pretty good come up after losing your first and probably only title shot in a 50-45 blowout :ehh:


:wow: could have set up the biggest payday of his career for usman in the rematch if he had fought it out instead of playing ballerina games , some guys do it for prestige others do it for money , there is no way i see these two meeting up again for a fight , i think jorge takes 1 tops 2 more fights on the ufc then disappears to bellator

I mean mas on the feet is a problem. So you take away his base....... hence the foot stomps.

I'm going to leave this foreshadowing moment here because it's coming



The band on that chin has expired a long time ago

Periera is arguably pound for pound the hardest puncher in kickboxing, folks always expose themselves as not knowing what they're talking about when they post this clip.

And what am I talking about in your mind?

Because personally?

I think you're the one who doesn't know what he's talking about in regards to you thinking you know what I'm talking about....

Perhaps you jumped the gun?

You spelled it out clearly, you are talking about expired chins when every MW in the UFC gets clapped by Pereira in a straight kickboxing match. This isn't TLR and a thread about animals fighting, I actually know what I'm talking about.

I can't tell. What does your chin getting obliterated have to do with who obliterated it based on what I said..

I'm not talking about the fact that he lost.

Please go eat some dinner
