I think Khamzat Usman is a little suspect

[KBE6EKCTAH_CCP]

Well, you’re wrong. He did. That shit is tiring.

Oh course it is. But given how he was getting pancaked by Khamzat it was the most efficient thing he could do.

 

[KBE6EKCTAH_CCP]

“He hardly tried”

What a shit take lol. Do you actually believe that? The guy is old af, his knees are fucked, and he took the fight on what two weeks notice at most? Come on, don’t insult the man like that.

Problem with some of you guys is you focus on facts like that but don‘t have experienced eyes to spot funky stuff like that.

 

[krelianx]

Surprisingly stupid take. Usman's knees are shot, he cannot wrestle like he used to. He has always been a stiff boxer, which is what he predominantly does now.

There was nothing suspect.

 

[RemyR]

Them little takedown feints from Usman were funny man. Bro thought he was fighting Masvidal again.

I think he was just trying to get Khamzat to lower his hands

 

[markys00]

There’s a reason usman didn’t do shit. He didn’t want to get taken down and ragdolled.

both guys are high level. Let’s not pretend like it’s easy to finish either one of them ffs.

Ragdolled? I'm not sure you know what that word means

 

[Kohelet]

nah he is a professional

 

[Can’t Handle My Riddum]

Pas chez les gens qui ont etudié.

Lol, you arrogant prick.

Also, Quebec will never be “libre”.

 

[SuperNerd]

Vieille take de casual

ban.

Well they were working, Khamzat was reacting, and he even landed upstairs off a feint

 

[Prex32]

Thought the same.

Usman showed zero sense of urgency. Barely tried.

Almost like he knew the mission.

thats fight island for you

 

[HHJ]

Cmon son. Seriously???

 

[IncreaseDanaPay]

Usman hardly tried. It looks like he came in there for a paycheck and did what was expected of him.
For those blaming Khamzat for boring R2 and R3, well Usman largely didn‘t do shit. After the clinic put by Khamzat in R1 it was Usman job‘s to initiate.

He tried his hardest

 

[TheNewOldGuy]

I'm giving Usman a pass (I don't even like him, but respect him.), because he did perform, he just looked like he took a tough fight with very little notice. The cardio just wasn't there, and a lot of that had to do with Chimaev's game also.

 

[Royce's Gi]

Nah, but he's articulate enough to be a decent commentator. Better than DC imo!

Khamzat is a great commentator, not just decent

 

[Brettco]

Oh for fucks sake log off for a bit

Is that code for something?

 

[NoSmilez]

He didn't have a camp. He probably had no sparring or wrestling sessions. Did he even have time to review tape?

 

[The Schmoop]

Khamzat faded again. He faded in his war with Gilbert as well but given the nature of that fight I didn’t think much of it. This time, I expected him to maul Usman given the short notice. Usman is a world class fighter but at MW I thought Khamzat would run through him fairly easily. Usman did great given the circumstances and Khamzat beat one of the greatest WWs of all time.

Je suis tanner de t’entendre , vient-en on va se battre je vais t’éteindre

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

this makes Khamzat look even worse. WW on 2 fight losing streak on 10 days notice holds his own with the boogeyman of the MW division who had a full camp? while the WW "largely didn't do shit"? interesting... so does everyone still think Khamzat is the boogeyman?

a lot of people said that he'd have better stamina at MW because the cutting was what was killing his stamina. i always maintained it's not the weight cut, it's his style. he wants to dominate guys but in order to do that he has to expend so much energy to maintain that look of invincibility if he doesn't finish in the 1st rd he's effectively spent.

i think he'd be way more effective if he wasn't such a try-hard in the 1st rd. but it seems he has no grasp of how to pace himself and because of that i doubt he'll become champion or hold the belt long without a lot of help from UFC matchmakers.
