Yes usmans going to be the first guy to stop masvidal on the feet lmao.Usman is gonna come into this fight spiteful, and will want to beat Mas on the feet, kind of like he chose to stand and trade with Colby.
While Mas is the better striker technically, Usman has the attributes (chin, endurance, power) to absorb Mas' punches and eventually gets the better of him in the stand up.
Call me crazy now, but you'll see - physical attributes mean A LOT.
1.) A tko on the feet wouldn't involve a knockdownMasvidal gets dropped in a lot of his fights. I could see it happening.
He stood and traded with Colby because Colby's just about as good at wrestling as Usman, and nowhere near as good a striker as Masvidal. That's literally the worst comparison you could possibly come up with.Usman is gonna come into this fight spiteful, and will want to beat Mas on the feet, kind of like he chose to stand and trade with Colby.

don't get me wrong, Usman > covington. I am a big fan of usman but the reality is that his striking is just bad compared to masvidal, barely better than covington. Usman beat masvidal if he wrestles, if he strikes, he is getting KOed, nothing far fetched ....
In fairness to Colby I've never seen him actually sit down on his punches like that, but it still wasn't a good look for Usman getting hit as much as he did.If Usman strikes with Mas he is getting TKOed badly, NOBODY get wobbled that bad by covington ... Usman should stick to what he does best : wrestling and pressure.
He stood with Colby because the wrestling neutralizes. It would be suicide against Mas. Mas has a granite chin and a serious claim to the best hands in the UFC. Usman will almost certainly win, but it'll be via wrestling.
nobody ever said colby would TKO usman WTF are u talking about ?Everyone said the same thing about Usman if where to stand and strike with Covington, and well we see how that turned out.
Except jds is washed up nd is damaged goods At this point... and its heavyweightWe saw it with Blaydes/JDS
The threat of the takedown can open up the hands.

Wrong. There were plenty of people saying Usman will have to go for take downs because Colby will beat him in the stand up. Again, we see how that turned out. So WTF are you talking about?nobody ever said colby would TKO usman WTF are u talking about ?
