Ariel Helwani:"No Top 15 Welterweights Wanted to Fight Kamaru Usman"

[Legendary]

Well good luck taking him down and keeping him there, and he can put you out with 1 shot on the feet. Kind of similar to Tyron.

Its gonna take a Rory-esque fighter to beat him. Someone who can keep it at range on the feet and be technical while avoiding takedowns.

And this is why I'm a fan of Cerrone. Cerrone is a guy who will fight anyone, it's just too bad he was already scheduled against Till.

Yeah I'd hate to get hugged for 15 minutes too

Nah, he's been telling Usman he's down for months.

 

[MRT]

In situations like this just give the guy everyone is ducking the title shot.

Woodley doesn't have a fight anyway

in cases where there are a lot of guys ducking (i.e. not already booked to fight), I like this idea...a lot.

it makes more sense than 'punishing' Usman with a fight against a guy ranked lower than him, and outside the top 15.

what Gray Maynard calls a 'booger': "You never look good when you have a booger. Even if you beat him, it's not gonna be a good look.”

the worst booger ever was probably John Ruiz in boxing.
