Media Gilbert Burns: I've had over 100 sparring sessions (wars) with Kamaru Usman

[Eszopiclone]

Hello Kamaru. Nice try. You mention IQ.. Isn't the key to success in the entertainment industry to entertain and get paid? Get some fans. It's the ultimate FIGHTING championship, not avoiding fighting championship.

unfortunately most fans don't have a high IQ so they can't comprehend his game. At an analytical level, he is one of the most entertaining fighters

Success? Usman is undefeated in the UFC and is the WW champion. Already defended his title twice. I'd say he's pretty succesful.

Is this real life? You're a funny guy. I guess we have to agree to disagree. To me pushing against the fence and stalling is not entertaining. But we're all different. I'm not hating. I just disagree. Fair?

pushing against the fence and stalling

I see more than that

1. He isn’t taking down or outpacing Usman
2. He got KO’d by Hooker at LW
3. Usman has decent power
4. He has a worse chance than Masvidal

1.MMATH doesn't work
2.Hooker is a better striker than Usman
3.Big Weight Cuts effects your body's ability to take a punch, and increases the likely hood of getting KO'd.
4.Masvidal was a short notice call up

He is good. But boring. And cringy.

Sure. He is a very good technical wrestler. 14 different personalities too. I'd rather pay to see fighters like Poirier, Diaz, Masvidal, McGregor and maybe bjj wizard Ryan Hall.

 

[Ice Hotel]

Hope he wins. The WW division is in the "Snoozeman era". And PPV is expensive. Who the f*** wants to pay to see Usman push and hump guys for 25 minutes?

Get him Gilbert!

Burns isn't an entertaining fighter either, he has 2 finishes in his last 6 fights, one being over a guy with no wiki page and the other over 50 year old Maia. Boring personality as well, at least with Usman we get some decent build ups as well like with Colby and Masvidal.

I think his performance against Woodley was pretty awesome. I didn't praise Burns, I just said I hope he wins because Usman is boring. Can I have my own preferences in fighting styles?

I liked Cain and DC when they were fighting. Even Khabib is exciting. All of them wrestlers. Usmans perfomance against Masvidal was comical

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Gilbert must know something we don't.

I remember when Glover called out Anthony Johnson.. "he must see something in Rumble"... lmao.

 

[theTKDguy]

Burnz has already been through the fire. Ooze Man is going to get melted.

4. He has a worse chance than Masvidal

1. Usman is in big danger on the ground taking down Gilbert
2. Gilbert is less awkward on the feet and may very well prefer to keep it there
3. Usmans power is below average, Gilbert’s is not

Shocker to hear that a guy challenging for the belt thinks he can beat the champ based on what happened when they sparred!

 

[RawDawgBob]

Usman is terribly boring. I hope he loses and never fights again.

 

[Misanthropist]

Usman will clinch and foot stomp his way to a UD win

It will be exactly like this in order.

Hugging first

Nutgrabbing second

Then footstomping to secure decision

 

[RockyLockridge]

4. He has a worse chance than Masvidal

your take was semi-reasonable until you said this.

 

[Miabetes]

I see more than that

No, you don't.

 

[TriangleMonkey]

Just hope Gilbert can land a jumping guillotine finish. Bout the only way I see him winning tbh...
