Usman Era About to End Says Cormier

[ReadWrite]

Burns is The Nigerian's Nightmare

“Can I say something that Usman’s probably not gonna like too much?” Cormier asked when discussing Kamaru Usman’s UFC 251 performance. “If you’re Masvidal, you go fight “Rocky” [Leon Edwards] when Usman fights Gilbert Burns because if Usman fought Gilbert Burns [the way he fought Masvidal], I don’t think he would’ve won. I really don’t think he would’ve beat Gilbert Burns with the performance that he had last weekend. I think Gilbert Burns is too good and he provides too many problems.”

Usman Era? Dude has defended twice... and not like some are already calling him 170 GOAT.

Root for Boo-erns but Usman wins

 

[Amerikuracana]

I thought he was talking about the Chechen/Swede.

 

[Londonjitsu]

I agree
I said from the start he's lucky burns got ill
He has time with wittman now for proper planning

Welcome to the Machida Era!

 

[Hey Soos]

Usman is holding the title for a looong time. I see him beating gsp's record soon. He is just way ahead of the curve.

 

[Utahraptor Ostrommaysi]

I'm going with Usman, He keeps proving the haters wrong.

Usman 0 losses

GSP 2-3 losses

Yes Usman era. Machida had an era with 1 defense and it's one of the most decorated and talked about era's in MMA history.

Whenever DC starts hating on a fighter you know you've discovered true greatness.

Burns will keep the belt warm for Chimaev

 

[Morning Star]

If Dan Movahedi was reffing that last fight the Usman era would probably already be over.

Machida's era started when he beat Rashad. he didn't even have to defend his title for his era to start, all he had to do was beat the champ.

I'd argue it started even earlier when he beat Thigao Silva in a battle of the unbeatens.

i just meant Rogan declared it the Machida era right after he slept Rashad. Joe Rogan is the authority of eras so if he says it, it must be true.

Usman has been finished already

I think Burns will be Usman's toughest matchup, but I think Usman gets it done. Unlike most, I actually like Usman as a fighter and personality,

 

[No Skill Gap]

Usman Era? Dude has defended twice... and not like some are already calling him 170 GOAT.

Yeah well the funny thing is Khabib has only defended twice, and Holloway had only defended...3 times? Maybe Khabib gets the era based on time elapsed though lol

 

[BonesWinckleJones]

If journeyman jorge stuffed most of kamaru takedowns i bet Gilbert will stop all,and we know kamaru gonna tap if Gilbert gets his back, Gilbert basically needs to run every day and its enough

 

[ferrisjso]

Usman has been finished already

Not in the UFC.

In my opinion Burns is the ONLY person right now that has a chance of beating Usman. Masvidal, Edwards, Woodley, Covington, I think lose every time. Burns is the only one I think that has a chance to beat Usman. Kinda crazy Usman’s win resume is really starting to look impressive
