If Islam beats Usman

[BowserJr]

How bad does that make Borz look?

 

[fries in the bag]

islam > usman > khamzat > pereira

islam > pereira confirmed

 

[Xoleth]

If he beats him easily, people will still blame the age factor and the fact that Khamzat had to lose a lot of weight at WW

islam > usman > khamzat > pereira

islam > pereira confirmed

Conor > Cowboy > Adriano Martins > islam > usman > khamzat > pereira

 

[Rampage_Jackson]

Khamzat would beat up Islam so who cares

 

[Subline]

Why do we always omit that Khamzat vs Usman was over 2 years ago? Kamaru is still good but undeniably declining.

healthy Usman will be hard to beat

he is high level iq and a proved great wrestler,
he knows exactly what need to be done to stop Makachev takedowns, and Usman striking is underrated
remember he was tagging Khamzat in the third round

i would bet some money on Usman by decision

He fought Usman at 185.

Well never thought of that on paper borz puts islams wrestling in kindergarden

And he had a hard time wrestling usmen..
If islam can keep usmen down then he truly is special. But I think usmen kos islam and I think with 5 rounds and a camp usmen decisions khamzat.

But I think people don't realize the actual level of khamzats wrestling.

If Islam beats Usman, that mostly makes the UFC matchmakers look bad.

Just more goaty shit

How many other 155’ers you think could beat Usman?

 

[Bobble Head]

Kamaru Usman is 38 now with bad knees. I like Islam, but this fight doesn’t mean much to me.

Age has been shown to matter a lot more in the lighter weight classes as well so there’s that.

 

[Prazeres]

the Usman Khamzat fight was two years ago and Usman is at an age where he only gets worst with time.

 

[Söze Aldo]

Why do we always omit that Khamzat vs Usman was over 2 years ago? Kamaru is still good but undeniably declining.

Bad knees age exponentially too. He's got Stipe Miocic aged knees at least.

 

[AL-Tappo McSnappo]

Khamzat would beat up Islam so who cares

Burns beat Khamzat, Jack beat Burns, Islam beat Jack

 

[Big Tuppy Hole]

The big question is why is Usman getting a shot? He beat the least skilled of the new generation and has won 1 fight in how many years

 

[Rampage_Jackson]

Burns beat Khamzat, Jack beat Burns, Islam beat Jack

Burns lost 2 rounds and won 1 decisively thats a loss brother MMA scoring is what it is

 

[Goblue6870]

"If"? Islam destroys Usman

 

[Tweak896]

I think if we align the planets to get Khamzat to 170 one more time, he actually beats Islam. Actually would be one of the highest level fights the UFC has ever done.

edit: Also it's when Islam beats Usman, because that's basically a freebie title defense.
