that was not a highly technical fight wtf lol. the last 2 rounds Usman displayed great wrestling with those takedowns.....but even then, the second half of those rounds....back to hugging. they should give the fighter 15 seconds to attempt an offense, if none, break it up. if they do it three times in a row, yellow card (or deduct point) like in the pride days. that was stalling. no if buts. its a wrestling technique. the equivalent of females grabbing hair and locking up.

on the feet masvidal was tooling the shyt out of him in the first. boy got shook and locked it up. Usman dont fight like that, Usman against Woodley was dominant, takedowns up the ass and gnp'd the hell out that boy. why he aint do that against mas if mas wasnt tooling him up and snuffing his takedowns the first 3 rounds?

last 2 he got those in because mas was fading, lack of training. how can anyone give usman respect for that performance. that was atrocious. imagine paying $80 for stalling. :mjtf:
Masvidal has better hands then woodley. Usman made the right adjustments stayed active in the clinch and beat him up man.

Masvidal let himself get abused.

Had his leg over his damn head

:russ: dc said fukk his corner and got his liver destroyed

Watching that KO back is like watching an autopsy from the heavy breathing, the way his eyes were dry, how his nose was, the way he was stepping and how his body betrayed him like he knew what Stipe was doing with the body shots in the beginning they weren’t doing shyt but then desperation set in like DC had his hands up midline but he couldn’t block the head blows or body blows but he could see them beat way to describe it is not feeling some one coming behind you then the finals blows damn. Like honestly I’ve watched enough fighting so I really believed that because of his body type he couldn’t get KOed except for the Jon Jones shyt which was better than the Stipe in my mind no man but Jon Jones could beat DC. Because Wrestling such a cheat code

Clearly in the standup. Usman will be trying to take him down but Masvidal is better on the feet than anyone Usman has faced in his career, only one close is RDA and RDA is more straightforward in his approach and can be pushed against the cage too easily.
Overestimated Masvidal's cage craft, dude got pushed against the cage like it was nothing and couldn't move from there once he got clinched up.

That's masvidals fault.

Everything that happened to him required advanced technique plus skill.
Exactly, Mas needed a full camp to prepare defensively to keep Usman where he needed to be to stand up striking. He did not.

You gonna be mad at the winner when a team with no defense couldn't be competitive or you calling out the team with the shyt defense?

At the end of the day... Mas got paid and that is what he truly wanted.

With a full camp he had no shot



Usman just digs to deep for the W.



Seemed like hed been preparing all this time. It jist wasn't enough

It’s surprising that the BMF champ couldn’t assert himself in a championship fight.

He talked a good game but Masvidal learned that there’s levels to being a champion. I also don’t buy only 6 days of notice/training as he was already training with Dustin for Dustins fight.

Usman should get more credit as his camp was focusing more on Burns then Masvidal. A lot of champs wouldn’t take that change on such a short time frame.

In other news, Burns is a different monster. His grappling and stand up are top notch and is probably the most aggressive welterweight in the ufc. He can beat Usman especially considering the way Usman leads his punches with his head.

You clinging to his nuts instead of seeing how boring that “fight” was


That’s actually not true I said several times the fight didn’t live up to the hype.

You obviously didn’t read my other post. And please sir, don’t be uncouth and crude. I did nothing to you
