-If UFC 251 really did 1.3M then Usman at least made between 5 to 8 millions at minimum since he has ppv points,are you going from that payday to fighting at UFC 256 which has no star power at all and you are the one carrying the card with burns? Probably will do 100k ppv buys so not even 15 percent of his last payday,Him and his manager know better
He is doing the Tyron Woodley tactics,he knows people don’t care about him,he is not a draw and if he isn’t fighting a draw,the next best option is to be on a massive card like woodley was doing when he was a champion
This guy used to fight 3-4 times a year and when he was on Rogan’s podcast,he talked about how he was in so much pain but he was always mentally strong and was overcoming pain from the same injuries he has now and he had to fight as many times to reach his goal for the belt
Does anyone really think Usman is that afraid of the matchup with Burns (that he was already preparing for him until burns got covid a week before UFC 251) who wasn’t even a top 10 lightweight and they trained together that he had to pull out 3 months before the event? He knows he will make a quick work of him,it’s just time for him to get paid and make a business decision
If diaz vs masvidal 2 was on UFC 256 like it was planned,he would have fought 100% and since it’s not happening,he said i’m out,neither masvidal or diaz would have accepted a co-main spot to usman anyway
i think he is planning and just waiting to be on one of the big fights next year like izzy vs jan,stipe vs ngannou,masvidal vs colby,Zhang vs Rose,maybe on of those 3 title fights cards
