Islam vs Usman Rumored for the White House

[HNIC215]

I don't even know if this is the official Zuffa Boxing and why they would be breaking the news.

But this will drive a lot of people in here mad.

What a joke.

 

[Simple Southerner]

I'll be disappointed with Islam if this fight happends I understand why he wants it but f this shit!!

 

[Travis Alexander]

Wow let’s showcase an aged out American wrestler (who isn’t one of the top5 most deserving for a TS)getting ragdolled by a Russian on arguably the most viewed combat sports event of our lifetime that is taking place on the White House lawn in commemoration of our nations birth.

 

[MigitAs]

There goes the theory Americans won’t lose at the White House

 

[b00tysweat]

let's go! I'm in, going to be a great fight!

 

[Ares Black]

It's both Rumored AND Official?

[Just Creed]

Are people actually excited for this fight?

 

[oscerthegrouch]

sorry but Usman going get rag-dolled it wont be close.. Usman been done now for a bit... he got about as much chance as DC coming in to fight Tom.. you know if Eye ever ever heals )

What a giant waste of everyone's time. Lol at Islam saying Ilia is beneath him and ducking every WW contender just to turn around and fight a washed Usman. Why not add Colby and make it a triple threat match. ffs

I agree with you but Usman still has that name and legendary status - many folks (including Dana) say he's the Welterweight GOAT.



So I guess they feel it's a bigger spectacle with his name then it would be with another Welterweight - like that guy in a woman's dress.

I thought the same lol

I'm wondering "why is Zuffa Boxing announcing this shit"

Pretty sure Islam isn't the one who decides the lineup for the White House card.

 

[SuperNerd]

I blame Jon.

 

[HNIC215]

Usman is talking like it's official...

Not sure it’s a “bigger spectacle” than devout Muslim Islam fighting the dude in a dress .



I get what you’re saying though. Name value and all that ish. Obviously as a non casual fan I’m just trying to see the best guys scrap but that isn’t show business.

 

[TJ Dillashank]

Keeping in the spirit of recent matchmaking, I see. Personally, I think they should give the TS to Colby if they really want to outdo themselves.

 

[SuperNerd]

I really hope we get to see naive posters trying to make Usman out as the evil American trumpster leading into the event

 

[NoStoneUnturned]

Would I have preferred a couple of the younger top contenders? Yes, but I am content with this fight. Usman handled himself well against Khamzat and lets be honest, if anyone at WW can nullify the grappling like or not it is probably Kamaru.
