Dana White: Kamaru Usman is the greatest Welterweight of all time

I actually thought this until the Leon losses. GSP wins both those fights IMO.

 

[Limit Smasher]

Prime GSP smokes him. Even GSP today would probably still win.

 

[Get To Da Choppa]

Kamaru is great, but he's not surpassing GSP, both in terms of longevity of reign and cultural impact.

I would love to see Dana White debate this with the real experts, us Sherdoggers, but he's too short to even be able to have an account here

I actually thought this until the Leon losses

Remember now, Kamaru was winning the first fight completely, just got caught at the end >...<

 

[TheBulge]

GSP is the greatest and most talented. Khamzat and prime Hendricks would beat him though very close fights. Still Usman was insanely good. To have that kind of muscle and strength while retaining ATG cardio is highly unusual, elite wrestinling offense and defence and then he even gets blessed with one punch KO power on top of that.

 

[CasualBot]

Well the quote says it's from Usman's podcast

 

[Craig Hogg]

Dana and Conor prove that money doesn't automatically make you happy. Both are sad, petty men.

 

[chinarice]

There is a better argument he isn't even #2 all-time than him being #1.

There is nothing Dana says that I care about though. He's a wifebeating maggot and I will definitely throw a party the moment he's gone from the UFC.

 

[Dorkman]

You can argue that maybe at his absolutely peak form that he might have beaten gsp. But you really can't argue who has the stronger legacy at WW. Where in the pecking order you spend your time fighting matters. And Georges just spent longer fighting and winning at the very top. Do not agree with dana. Especially where I know dana holds grudges, and has absolutely had personal problems with Georges in the past.

 

[CombatCyborg]

I guess he's expecting Makhachev to win and is angling for a nice little Jones'Stipe style squash match

 

[m249viking]

Dana is sour over GSP walking after getting the MW belt

 

[MigitAs]

What a piece of shit

Yeah Usmans genetics were ridiculous.

 

[SuperNerd]

How many Usman fights did you watch before you thought he was a GOAT? 10?

 

[TheBulge]

Yeah Usmans genetics were ridiculous.

Romero level genetics, Joe. Virtually identical.

 

[ArtardFiesta]

kamura defenses - gilbert burns, colby x 2, masvidal x 2 LOL

In the rematch with leon, kamura tried to fake fouls to get points taken of Leon

kamura at mw could not beat the current champion. The real GOAT was able to beat the mw champ.

 

[YSB]

No, that's Georges St. Pierre.

I don't resent Dana for being wrong about almost everything. The guy invented Power Slap, so he's clearly mentally handicapped.

 

[Just Creed]

GSP and Usman would be a great fight

 

[The_Renaissance]

GSP and Usman would be a great fight

Fuck yeah. In their primes, GOAT fight in any division.
