Rory MacDonald vs Kamaru Usman

[MonkeyPickAss]

he may be washed up. let's see his next fight

I wouldn't call him washed up, he just isn't elite like he once was.

 

[Egészségére!]

I think Rory beats Usman, Covington, and Woodley in a rematch. He's a bad stylistic matchup for them, Woodley most of all.

but Woodley is better than he was then and Rory is worse
the rematch would be closer

Who is Rory? The guy that got absolutely destroyed by Mousasi?

I'm pretty sure most welterweights would.

Gegard has been a MW & LHW Champ in multiple orgs, and fought as heavy as HW(Dream HW Champ). Rory is a WW. I give Rory a lot of respect for even taking the fight.

Depends if his nose holds up

Utter imbeciles bringing up the Mousasi fight as an argument. Mousasi was the LHW champ in Strikeforce you numbnuts!

a lot of people dont get this weight class thing. Moose was way bigger and it showed. Moose would have done the same to GSP.

No shame in losing to the GOAT MW of all time.

I think Woodley is a horrible fight for Rory. The one thing Rory wants to avoid is a power shot to the face. Woodley has the power in either hand to hurt that nose and shut down Rory. Woodley doesn't throw much but when he does and lands it's devastating.

You can visually see Rory does not take punches now like he use too. Robbie shattered his nose, WB rebroke it to the point Rory was questionable on even continuing fighting because he was having nasal/breathing issues and Mousasi just touched his nose before Rory shut down. It wasn't just Mousasi landing a punch. It's how Rory reacted to getting punched that I noticed. Not good.

Yeah the nose is always a concern now, but Rory had the perfect defense for Woodley's punches (the same kinds of punches he continues to use today).

On the other hand, Rory knows how to pressure and shut down Woodley like Usman did. Rory did it first! Exploiting the same holes Usman did.

even the moose said they were pretty even technically, but that the size was just way too big going into the fight. Moose gave him a ton of respect.

Usman kills rory

 

[electricfuneral]

rory loses to usman but beats covington and woodley

 

[MadHouse]

i think Rory would get manhandled honestly

 

[flowoftruth]

rory hasn't been looking good lately

 

[Buckaroo]

He’s definitely got a great chance agasont all those guys. But I agree he’s not the same fighter since that lawler fight. It’s really too bad.

lima kicked his ass also lets be honest it was a w but he didn t show much

 

[Erase]

Usman destroys him even easier than he did to Sergio Moraes

 

[Londonjitsu]

People really haven't been watching Rory in bellator.

He's a different guy.

Moose would hape all WWs

Lmao Moose would crush every welterweight on the ufc roster. The guy was a hw at some point FFS. No shame on Rory losing to him. Tbh Rory should be able to beat Usman, Colby and Woodley. Idk if he “would” though.

Kamau is all of the sudden unbeatable can’t wait til askren grinds him
