I like Kamaru. It's a good matchup for him. I take back almost everything bad I've said about Dana. I'm psyched for this fight.

I think Usman will end up taking this fight given his other options. Surely he likes his chances vs JDM more than against Brady or Garry. Win this and he can get another title shot.

 

[Pompey Junglist]

It's a hard fight to call, I just have a hunch JDM will get it done. It'll be bloody tough for him though.

 

[Soggust]

Usman wall and stalls him imo

 

[Contempt]

As much as I hate to say it, Usman by grapple-fuck

 

[Gabe]

JDM had a back and forth against Burns but Usman is getting up there in age. 50/50 fight.

 

[Cherry]

Ooze is done. I'm not really high on Jack either but I'll take him in this

 

[OldBoy91]

Usman probably takes it. As much as he appears to be on the decline, we haven't seen his cardio take a hit. He can still go for 5 rounds, that being said JDM's best bet is to go to the body early and often and try to suck the wind out of Usman.

Not to mention, JDM still occasionally makes some beginner's s mistakes when he's grappling. Dropping for a guillotine against Usman is not going to work out very well. Unless he's had a huge improvement in his defensive wrestling since the last time we saw him, I think Usman has to be the favourite here.

I guess this also means we are getting Leon Edwards vs Sean Brady in London, which I am not enthused about at all.

JDM had a back and forth against Burns but Usman is getting up there in age. 50/50 fight.

JDM seems to have grit and resourcefulness, though ... always finding a way to win ... while Usman is getting used to "losing for a payday" ... gracefully though.

Love this fight, Usman thinks he's still got it. I think maddalena knocks him out

I hope you're wrong but I'm thinking the same thing happens.

 

[JoeRowe]

2025 off to a fantastic start. Been 1.5 years since Usman last fought come FEB 8th. That's a lot time for a fading fighter. On the other hand JDM is like 27 & coming off his best performance & still improving. His grappling looked better against Burns that it did vs Basil.

Another 3rd rd tko for Jack. Usman's knees are shot he could barely get Leon down 2 years ago. Jdm just has cleaner kickboxing & is more willing to pull the trigger.

 

[RockyLockridge]

Brady is going to get prates it looks like

 

[Guy LeDouche]

Usman is getting too old to compete, I don’t expect to see him looking great in there with shot knees coming off three losses and is 37.
I think people forget how Father Time is undefeated

 

[Neck&Neck]

Usman via footstomps

 

[Tweak896]

Usman with good knees and wrestling takes this, but I have a feeling JDM can keep it standing now that Usman is older and win that way.

 

[usernamee]

Garry said like a week ago he guaranteed this was the fight Usman was going for because he has no nuts lol

 

[TriangleMonkey]

What’s next for Brady then?


The Usman who fended off Khamzat is an animal. And the JDM wrestling is not anywhere near same level. Usman still carries a lot of physicality to deal with

I think Usman can edge this fight on scorecards

Nice fight!

Interesting, I'd take Usman. JDM's TDD won't hold up against him, fucking Haffez gave him hell in that department. I reckon Brady vs Edwards headlines the London card.
