News Ali: Plan for Usman is to beat Leon, then fight Izzy

[LoveMyMMA]

If Usman does in fact move up to middleweight after beating Leon, do you think he'd be ducking Khamzat?

 

[13Seconds]

That would be cool. Khamzat never fights anyways.

 

[Reign009]

Lol, you'll never hear the end of "Marty ducked Khamzat".

 

[Ice Hotel]

Wouldn't end well for Izzy

But that fight will never happen

 

[Syrus Bunns III]

Listen, ducking Colby confirmed

 

[svmr_db]

Adesanya vs Usman isn't big enough for the casuals for them to get the big bucks they'd want to make the fight

 

[LoveMyMMA]

Lol, you'll never hear the end of "Marty ducked Khamzat".

i mean it'd be true tho no?

 

[IMPmmath]

If Khamzat wins the vacant WW title he will call out to smesh Usman as soon as the belt is wrapped around him.

 

[VinceArch]

I kind of doubt it.

 

[HeDidn'tWantTheFight]

Ugh why???

Usman has Leon, the winner of Luque/Muhammad, and Khamzat if he beats Burns on deck

Izzy has Whittaker and the winner of Cannonier/Brunson

I fucking hate all the super fight shit, especially when there are contenders hanging around.

 

[Reign009]

I wonder if that's how Marty and Izzy actually feel though.

They're both from Nigeria. I would like to hear their thoughts on this. Ali does too much talking for everyone.

 

[Portland8242]

Usman and Izzy have been very vocal about not wanting to fight eachother.

Ali is scared shitless off Khamzat beating both Burns and Usman back to back after the little falling out they had.

 

[Beamzy]

Bold prediction, neither guy are champions after their next fights anyways.

 

[ferrisjso]

Is it crazy to favor Marty over Izzy?

Adesanya vs Usman isn't big enough for the casuals for them to get the big bucks they'd want to make the fight

I hear Izzy is pulling quite the numbers on his PPVs. Got like 6 million followers on his Instagram. Kamaru is slowly becoming a draw because he beat the star Masvidal twice (last one by meme viral KO) and Colby Covington twice who has quite the following himself.

Both active champions who are close to cleaning house. Usman been champ for 3 years already.

I don't know. Could be big. Wont happen though.

 

[aali14]

Tried to make Usman vs Michael Chiesa, but conveniently never mentions Khamzat

 

[NoSmilez]

top ten anime betrayal

 

[Noraaq]

Ali wants Usman to duck Chimaev

Khamzat will KO snoozeman then move up and KO adesanya

 

[OmegaRugal]

I think Izzy KOs Usman.

Izzy so far has only been held down by someone who outweights him by minimum 30lbs.

 

[Dionysian]

All this really proves is that Ali is absolutely terrified of Khamzat. Obviously Kamaru won't fight Izzy though, the fact Ali even floated the idea is silly

Not that it'd ever happen but... if it did... Kamaru wins that fight vs Izzy IMO
