Dana confirms Usman vs Covington 2

[DRstrange]

Colby's gonna beat the breaks off Marty.

 

[PlasticFishBowl]

Oh great, another undeserved rematch at WW.

ffs Usman should fight Leon or Wonderboy already

 

[chinarice]

Everybody looks like a world beater when facing weaker competition. Its a lot easier to strike with a fighter that will never attempt a takedown than it is when facing an elite wrestler like Woodley or Covington

Bolded part is completely irrelevant to actually showing new skills you didn't have before.... literally irrelevant.

The "it's a lot easier to do this and that due the style matchup" is again irrelevant to a guy showing new skills he didn't show in any previous fight in his career... This coincidentally happened when he joined a new camp... lol

I am sorry you can't see something that is quite clear.

Well makes sense, the Chiesa fight was absolutely cherry picking, but it's not a money fight either so makes sense the UFC wasn't onboard

 

[Substance Abuse]

Like with all these fights, I'll believe it after the weigh-ins.

 

[Pakman]

What is this Usman improvements bullshit. Masvidal has never been more than a gatekeeper. His greatest claim to fame was KOing a washed up Askren.

people out here acting like beating Masvidal is more impressive than Woodley nowadays

to be fair, Till is probably the best win of Masvidal's career.

Ben is the most accomplished fighter though for sure.

 

[CinemaKingdom]

Why would they make the rematch where Usman was a clear winner with a finish?

I'd rather see Wonderboy vs Usman or even Luque

Looks like the ufc is never going to give Wonderboy a shot at Usman.

 

[dildos]

Usman will destroy colby again.

 

[Kryptt]

If it happens, I'm in!

Then again I'm in for Usman mowing down whatever body they lay at his feet....

 

[You Will Vote For Dreyga]

yeah, but the style matchup made it so it's a fair assumption to think it was going to end up a brawl between 2 grapplers.

Hindsight bias

 

[Final Say]

If you want to know just how stupid Sherdog is as a collective, just read the posts in lead up to the first fight. The number of people who thought it was going to be a boring fight is simply astounding.

Even if you didn’t think that, the fight still probably exceeded expectations.

 

[WuDi]

Usman will destroy colby again.

Lol imagine actually believing this take after watching a guy cheat his way to survival and then get an early stoppage while losing on the score cards

 

[Herwald]

I like it, but if Colby wins - we're probably getting a trilogy. Seems like UFC are not feeling Leon.

Looks like usman's duck campaign has come to a head

How can you duck a guy you TKO'd. The man wants legit challenges, not another crappy rematch

He was only losing on one scorecard. Besides Usman has improved his striking

Lol at not seeing how much better Usman is, while Colby was trying to lose his virginity. He broke Colny the first time and will do the same now

That guy is delusional, we might be better off ignoring him

 

[WuDi]

how is that destroying, and why would you look past the fact that he cheated to survive?

Colby was obviously affected, but the victory came after cheating and early stoppage in a fight that he was arguably losing. That's not destroying, that's cheating your way to a win.

The fact that he keeps ducking Colby shows who broke who.

Yeah, everybody beats Till. Though mysteriously, WB struggled to outpoint him and lost.

You do know what 'arguably' means? Colby got his Jaw broken AND was behind on 2 of the 3 judges scorecards? Even if it wasn't stopped, Usman would have won the round? And this isn't a kids game dude, if Colby can't handle minor fouls, he should stay inactive.

Ps. The stoppage was 100% fine. Since your such a fan of the rules, read them. You will understand a fighter doesn't have to die before a ref stops it.
