Safe to say Kamaru Usman isn’t coming back to the octagon right?

[13Seconds]

17 months since his last fight, 37 years old, very bad knees and no signs of a return. Alot of focus on his podcast.

Safe to say that the guy is in the realm Stipe was in. Retired but the ego won't let him announce it.

 

[Sticko]

I personally believe Kamaru will fight at least once more.

 

[Chama]

So you're sayinh Marty from Nebraska is hanging 'em gloves up for good ?

 

[flektarn]

I don't think so. Maybe he's waiting on a hail mary that he will be wrangled in to a TS he doesn't deserve.

 

[RockyLockridge]

he shouldn't.

 

[13Seconds]

he shouldn't.

I feel like the division moved on quite nice without him. Belal, Shavkat, JDM, Leon, Garry, Buckley, Brady, Prates, Morales... WW is cooking right now and he might sense it.

I'd rather just see these guys face eacthother and leave him out of it. The demand isn't there.

An Usman WILL get either a title shot or an eliminator that he does not deserve I'd rather him go away because personally, I dont think he's particularly entertaining either.

hehe, I love Askren for coming up with that one.

Jones next title fight in 2027?

 

[Captain Insano]

He's let himself become an afterthough. At this point, he's just not in the convo very much.

 

[KO Shotz]

He's definitely irrelevant now & going forward.

 

[Fact Checker]

Usman vs Whit should be the next fight.


Loser leaves town.

They are in different weight classes...

Why not, he fought a lot of people who did not deserve a TS

 

[TempleoftheDog]

He’s waiting to hopefully slide into a TS on late notice. Or possibly a number 1 shot. At WW, or MW.

He already slid into a number 1 fight at MW. And he’s looking to do it again.

But time is not on his side.

I don’t ever need to see him fight again. I hope he’s done fighting in the UFC.

 

[jsbx45]

I think he will fight again and would be in title contention again with a win. He might even get a title shot for his next fight with the way the UFC operates these days.

 

[Mammothman]

He might cash out in a big money fight and that's it.

 

[SamuraiBro]

He’s sitting out having a sook, because he feels disrespected by fighters calling him out. Fight Buckley or retire.

I thought Oozeman was doing MW now

That's about the only way he could reach a title shot at this stage. He's too old, inactive, and war torn to work his way through contenders to get a shot.
