Is Usman vs. Masvidal the worst title rematch ever?

[SmoothPies]

Usman wins a clear cut and more importantly, extremely boring decision against Mas. Usman then impressively puts away Burns, and Mas gets a rematch without winning any fights since they last fought.

Kind of reminds me of when Nick Diaz got a title shot vs. GSP after the Condit loss but this feels way worse as we've already seen Usman vs. Mas and it was clear cut and bad.

He's BMF though. People want to see him fight just like they used to Diaz.

 

[Police_Power]

This whole match is just there for both of them and dana to get a bigger pay check

Usman trying to get easy title defense hes afraid of real champ colby

 

[Young Calf Kick]

You can blame Usman for that, he called Jorge out.

Dana will happiliy oblige to create the match that ended on the #6 spot in biggest UFC PPV's ever.

 

[Simple Southerner]

No

 

[Koro_11]

Because Usman is so boring that they need someone exciting in there to make his fights somewhat interesting.

 

[King in the North]

Not all rematches can be as suspenseful as Jacare/Camozzi, okay? Just be happy we have an active champion.

He’s afraid of the dude who’s jaw he broke and tko’d 2 fights ago? The guy who wants a gift title shot from beating a broken Tyron? Colby should fight burns or Leon if he wants to fight Marty again.

The worst imo was Rockhold/Bisping 2 before Bisping actually pulled it off lol. One of the most amazing nights in UFC history

Because Usman is so boring that they need someone exciting in there to make his flights somewhat interesting.

I’m not a big usman fan, but were his fights against burns and Colby actually boring?

 

[BodybagJohnny**]

No, it's actually interesting. Masvidal did pretty well on 8 days notice. Let's see what he can do with a full camp.

And besides, who else do you want Usman to fight? Rematch Covington?

Colby sucks. He ducked burns, Thompson and Leon. He’s never getting a title shot again and he’ll have to live with the humiliation of getting his jaw shattered and then KO’D for the rest of his life with no chance at redemption.

 

[TheMessiah]

Wasn't an immediate rematch but Trigg Hughes 2 maybe?

 

[Grissom]

Usman cannot sell PPVs. Jorge can sell PPVs.

Jorge could fight anyone in the top 10 and people will buy it, Usman has a long way to go with becoming a draw. Usman has too many boring fights and is extra cringe, don't get mad at the system. Holloway quote.

 

[Billthebutcher]

money fight.
jorge is like izzy, only good with the standup.

You could have just stopped at easy defense, or hell even substituted payday in and everyone would have agreed with you, but afraid of a guy he finished? Unlikely.

Yes I'd rather watch a rematch of Colby Usman than Masvidal Usman based on the the first respective showings, who wouldn't? Short of Masvidal pulling a fluke out Usman's going to win another dull decision.

You're seriously suggesting Masvidal has better standup skills then Adesanya?
