Usman was preparing for a completely different monster in Burns. He did what he did to win in dominant fashion. His last two fights were a dominant UD and a TKO, now this happens and he’s suddenly a boring fighter
He's definitely not suddenly a boring fighter, he's has that reputation for a long time. Colby fight is really an outlier.
This was actually a great situation for Masvidal, he got paid more and has a built in excuse cause of short notice for a fight he never had a shot in hell of winning anyway
A lot of "fans" are so fukking stupid they actually wanted to see this over Usman vs. Burns, who is an actual legit threat with his powerful striking and elite grappling

Me, like dudes really just want to watch bad boxing with kicks. Enjoy the techniques that allow for mixed martial arts or just want some dudes swing wild punches and kick.somebody said people don't like MMA, they like kickboxing
The 1 thing about some of these fights today, it's great that some of these fighters outside the ring are nice ppl have strong following. But sometimes u need to be a true ass hole jerk and have that killer instinct to really wanna hurt n murk sum1 in that ring.
This ain't jus a sparring match, this ain't jus a wrestling meet where better person wins. What makes the difference sometimes is the slight rick in ur head wanting to hurt sum1 and finish em and I find a lot of fighters jn thus new era lack that.
Im not saying they are not better than previous Gen fighters or lack skills but that mental component to be a physco n not care to put ur self in bad position jus so u can hurt someone is missing. And that's why we getting so many decisions and closer fights compared to past.
But also this same physco side is why alot of our old famed fighters now r all CTE victims and can barely talk and face disfiguresd and body broken down. So it goes both ways I guess.

How that nikka taste dikk? Tf nikka that was ass.it is a UFC fight fucc boi
I’m not saying he p*ssy but his technique is.If Usman stomped on your foot you’d tap quit the bullshyt
Real shyt. I want to see a good fight. We waited the weekend for this shytHugging in a fight without attempting take downs to gnp nor do muay thai strikes in said clinch = I DONT GIVE A fukk, YOU SUCK.
I can't consider that a fight. DC clinching and phone booth boxing when he doesnt get a take down, is fighting. that wasnt fighting. that was pointing.
that was holding on for dear life cause he was getting shredded.
they really considered them foot stomps strikes.
The irony, just cause he a breh doesn’t mean I can’t criticize that p*ssy technique. Does the phrase Ultimate Fighting Championship make you think of stomping feet
?He’s ass. The nikka stomped feet like a bytch. You’re a dikk rider. Fight was shyt

We'll see how Adesanya can overcome this.
I don't understand this hate for Usman. Welterweight was never known anything but a defensive specialist division with a lot of extreme weight cutters playing way above their cut. We had a short time where we had Robbie Lawler throwing hands and taking years off his life. Outside of that, it's getting grapplefukked for 5 rounds by dude that probably got 10 or 20 poounds on you with a wrestling/grappling pedigree.
Usman was just so cerebral and dominant.
