Did Woodleys performance against Burns make you less impressed with Usmans win over Woodley?

[HAWTRIDDUM]

If Woodley shows up and fights the same "back up against the cage and pace yourself while trying to throw a few counters per round" style against Colby, does it take away from Usmans performance to take the title from Woodley?

Do you think Woodleys heart is still into fighting, or are these matchups just out of frustration that Woodley doesnt want to leave on a loss?

I think it took a way a little, but Usman was the first one to beat Woodley like that, and took the belt from him. I think if Colby beats him the same way, that'll take away from Colby and Burns win more than it would Usman. I don't think Colby has the strength to do what they did to Woodley though, this fight will be a lot closer than what most people think.

 

[Asako]

No, both were impressive wins. Both of those losses confirms that Woodley has lost his fire.

 

[Prelimtapper]

Less, Woodley looked like a coward against Usman. He looked washed up against Burns.

 

[Herwald]

Not really. Usman was first, making it easier for others to copy and feel confident about copying his approach. And - if you can't be first, be different - most of the Burns fight was whatever, the most impressive part was how he actually tagged Woodley and made him bleed. And how quick his punches were.

 

[Ch31ck]

Woodley's old and out of his prime. However when Usman fought him, he was coming off the win against Till where he completely destroyed him. Usman has already proven himself to be a beast because he has taken out most of the top guys at WW. If he beats Burns there will literally be no one left to challenge him.

 

[Johnnny]

No.

Usman dominated Woodley much more thoroughly than Burns did. Look at the media scores on MMAdecisions.com.

For Usman vs Woodley, they ranged from 50-39 to 50-44, with a consensus of 50-42.

For Burns vs Woodley, they ranged from 50-44 to 50-45, with a consensus of 50-44.

 

[ShreddinMMA]

Nah.

And Rory Macdonald was the one who showed how effective this gameplan was initially, not Usman. He abused Woodley everytime Woodley put his back on the cage.

No one just really emphasized that gameplan again until Usman.

Why a coward

 

[spinitch]

A wins a win. Usman though did it easier. Colby just needs a decision and avoid a flush Woodley bomb. Colby was doing well against Usman until 5th but not ahead and had to take more risks final round instead got countered hard. Colby can get ahead of Woodley and fight safer. Woodley does look like he worked on his cardio so could be a close fight and Woodley just needs one good shot to turn tide.

Its crazy because he was fearless against prime champ Robbie Lawler. How the f do you knock out robbie Lawler like that but scared to throw against grapplers. Just odd. But you may be right. Washed up may be the case.

Why a coward

He didn't try to engage once, he basically let Usman wrestlefuck him. He offered nothing and had horrible body language. I saw more with Burns, but Burns was just stronger and quicker.

This is the same guy who had a war with Wonderboy and then had one of the greatest borefest ever with wonderboy following. He's a weird fighter.

usman broke twood. burns just beat up the scraps left over. hopefully with the power of blm movement twood of old returns.

 

[Bruce Lee666]

yes Tyron looks like shit against Usman and Burns, this guy should retire.

Wonderboy, and he has the goods to beat him

 

[Andreh]

Usman was more impressive.

 

[laleggenda27]

Usman is 12-0 in the UFC and has finished or dominated every single opponent. And he's defended his title twice. That resume speaks for itself.

Burns is a beast. Why would his success take away from Usman's?

 

[Momentosis]

Usman had a much easier time and had way more output.

Burns laid some hands down on Woodley though.

 

[Kdup]

Why a coward

Because he went 5 rds with the best fighter at his weight in the world. Obviously he is a coward and has no place in this sport let alone society.
