That doesn’t surprise me Gaethje hits like a mac truck.I would have put in a "spoiler" tab but I don't know how to ... It was Gaethje.

reminder of what Usman did to Colbie, for those who still think that he should be fighting that leftover...

I remember Colby presenting a challenge to Usman that was far superior to that of his other opponents.
Getting brutally finished should disqualify any challenger from getting a rematch one fight later. No one was talking about Kelvin rematching Adesanya leading into the fight with Till. When you get smashed, the road back should be a lot longer.
One fight later is still one fight more than Masvidal has had since his last title fight - a snoozefest of a UD loss (50-45, 50-45, 49-46). If the only options are either Colby or Masvidal, then from a competition standpoint, Colby is the superior choice. He had the better fight, and he's actually added a win (yes, a single measly win) since then.
Wonderboy and Leon Edwards are better choices too, than Masvidal. Michael Chiesa Vincente Luque as well, lol. Only Gilbert Burns at this point has less of a claim to fight Usman than Masvidal. Anyways, we all know why this Usman-Masvidal 2 is being made - $$$. Has nothing to do with Jorge earning a rematch, or being the most logical choice ($$$ aside).
And as far as nobody talking about Kelvin rematching Adesanya, it's not because Kelvin lost an exciting decision. It's because it's a different division, with different circumstances and different dynamics. Izzy's next fight would be against Robert Whittaker for the belt, and then there was a selection of fresh match ups to make for him - including Romero and Costa. Usman as WW champ has already beat the Top 4 contenders. Wasn't the case for Izzy the champ.
Jorge by KO is +500 at Fanduel. Not sure where you're betting but you're shorting yourself.Can't wait to triple my money. Jorge by KO.
Would be very reminiscent of Bisping/Rockhold 2. The older journeyman gettting a title fight he doesnt deserve, in a rematch where he was dominated. Against a champ who may have fallen in love with his striking after switching camps. Luke going TO Hooft, while Usman left Hooft.same thing gonna happen usman is the better fighter .
mas only chance is lucky punch
AND that it was indeed broken.

Your not don't worry. This is a really high level fightFeels like im the only one who's pumped for this fight. So many questions.
Is this too quick of a turnaround for Usman?
How long will Usmans knees hold up?
What can Masvidal do with a full camp?
As Usman already had a full camp last time, what can he do different this time to a full camp Masvidal?
Let's go
The reason Masvidal is in there is precisely because none of the guys you've listed makes a compelling challenger.
Can't wait to triple my money. Jorge by KO.
There is a difference between being pumped for a fight and tuning in.You're definitely not the only one, everyone who thinks/says they aren't I guarantee you will be tuned in on the night of.
and all respect to Kamaru but I've got Mas.
He was probably in a general intensive training camp. I doubt he was training specifically for Usman like he's a fortune teller.He seemed to have a rough time with the weight cutting. Way rougher than normal. He looked terrible at one point in a pre fight interview. That tells me he wasn't in camp.
For Masvidal to be in a camp secretly would also mean he knew all along, months prior, that Burns would catch the Rona and pull out.
Or a flying knee at the beginning. Honestly I think he should try, because he's probably not going to win the fight. If he throws a flying knee at the beginning, maybe it lands, maybe it doesn't. But it's probably his best path to victory. No way he can control the fight and keep it at striking distance for long.same thing gonna happen usman is the better fighter .
mas only chance is lucky punch
The real hype fight will be Colby vs Masvidal for the title if Jorge can put usman away.
Didn't say it was probable. I said the real hype fight would be between these two for a title. Just an offshoot the topic of this forum thread. Bmf title needs to go away.If monkeys fly out of my butt what kind of interactions will they have with the flying pigs?
Or were you talking about the BMF title?
