The way Usman stands, you can tell his knees are fucked up.

 

[RonDante]

Never over 185 obviously

Is this edited? Why does usman look so weird?

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

According to DC... Islam walks around over 200 lbs, he might be the biggest 170 we have ever seen... It would probably be a mauling . Islam 50-44

Agree. Peak Usman different story but Islam is a monster right now.

B-b-b-but Khabib and Makhachev fans say they're both tiny LW's ! How dare Usman say Makhachev is a WW !

 

[HNIC215]

Excited for both of their fights! Can't wait to watch!

Still not paying for the PPV though - fuck Dana White!

 

[Huligani]

There have been way bigger lightweights than Islam Makhachev.

 

[BJJ4Tone]

Fascinating, innit?

Usmans standing too far from camera.

also wasn’t usman saying he will skip Izzy’s division and go beat Jiri for the LHW crown or something not too long ago?

Usman is bigger than islam no doubt about it

Usman was getting real silly there for a while

His chin would've been pulverized

Great photo. Both Usman and Ferguson (in the background) are dressed like extras in the Kilmer /Clooney versions of Batman from mid-90s.

[MMAFanCal]

Today is the day OP learns about the phenomenon called ANGLES. Fascinating, innit?

Yep. Islam is a lot closer to the camera so the closer object looks bigger than the farther object.

 

[Huligani]

Tibau?
