How do you rate Usman's reign as champion?

His reign for me in GIFS...

Beginning:

Middle:

End:

 

[MDoza]

Losing to Leon the Peon is as bad as GSP losing to Sherk and Rockhold losing to Bisping.

None of them get GOAT discussion in my book.

 

[dmwalking]

I think he had a solid reign. Unfortunately he had a GSP/ Serra moment. But I think he’ll be champ again.

 

[Bearknuckle]

i’d put woodley and usman tied as far as WW legacy. Their title reigns were fairly similar.

Woodley dominated lawler to get the title.
Usman dominated woodley to get the title.

Both Fought 2 close decisions rematches vs wonderboy/colby.

Both dominated till/burns and looked unbeatable,

then both lose the title badly to the next champ.

so usmans big mark was wasting his prime fighting masvidal twice for cash grabs.

 

[Strijfy]

One of the dullest champions ever. The Colby fights were a snoozefest.

 

[Bret 'The Hitman' Hart]

1) GSP

2) Hughes

3) Usman

 

[Trabaho]

Whe he dominated Tyron, Tyron was the undisputed champ, truly impressive feat, it does not matter that Tyron lost fights after that. I rate his run 10/10. 7 belts I think


You can make the same points out of any fighters resume

To me, Usman is 2nd all-time at WW by ability and 3rd all-time by resume (adjusted for era).

I think that's fair.
