Usman is my favorite fighter right now to be honest.

But currently, he is the best fighter in the UFC.

Who has done more than him who is currently active?

Volk has been pretty impressive. His last 4…

Max 2x
many consider him second all time to aldo at fw. Still In prime. Former fw champ

Aldo
considered by most to be fw goat. Still fighting top competition. Former fw champ.

Mendes has fought for the title.

Marty from Nebraska His last 4…

Masvidal 2x
lw/ww journeyman that was never considered the best at any weight class, nor has he held a ufc title.

Burns
Lw/ww journeyman that was never considered the best at any weight class, nor has he held a ufc title.

Colby
Ww top contender and Marty’s best win as champ. Held interim ww title.


Volk 22-1 record 9-0 ufc

The Nebraskan 20-1 record 14-0 ufc

Doesn't look like a bad call and I determined that by Maia's reaction

You can literally do this with anybody's resume. You're just being incredibly biased.

Most people believe Volk lost the 2nd Max fight. Ignoring how close this fight was is disingenuous as Usman doesn't have a fight like this in the UFC.

Mendes and Aldo were way past their prime when Volk beat them. Volk's best wins are literally Conor's best wins 5 years later. Still good wins, but you're just being biased by purposefully ignoring this fact.

Besides that, Volk has no other ranked wins currently in the UFC. He also way less finishes than Usman.

Burns is a natural WW and isn't a journeyman, that's such a pathetic way to diminish a win. Masvidal used IVs to cut to LW and earned his initial title shot. You also happened to ignore his win over Woodley, and his wins over Leon and Strickland that have aged nicely.

From your use of "Marty" and "Nebraskan" you clearly have a dislike towards Usman, and it shows.
 
Yup, that was a bad call. Should of let that one play out, Maia was being very technical.

Lmfao. Reread the thread you heartbroken little child
 
Nah. Usman had that whizzer in deep. Maia wasn't taking the back.
 
Maia wasn't doing shit.

insecure GSP fans at it again
 
Glad the ref wasn’t going to let Maia stall out, Excellent job
 
He would have hung on Usman for another minute and punched him in the butt a few more times.
 
Maia was not advancing. When you resort to punching your opponent in the ass to 'stay active' its a wrap. good job by the ref.

Yup. Too many people forgot about this. Plus Maia rocked Usman in their fight.

Colby may have gotten cut open by Maia but by the end of the third round, give Colby another 30 seconds and he 100% finishes Maia.

Usman had 5 rounds with Maia and didn't come close to anything like that.
And he fought Maia after Colby had beat the fuck out of him.

True, if only Colby and Usman fought we could finally see who the better fighter is.
I think Colby breaks Usman's jaw to be honest.

There was only a minute left on the clock and there was no indication usman was going down. Doubtful Maia grabs a submission in that time. Usman’s a different animal under Trevor though.

In serious grappling that would be criminal, it is true the time limits do disadvantage BJJ players
 
That round most likely would have ended with them standing like that. And even if Maia got him down, the round would've likely been over before he had time to get Usman outta there.

Not saying the ref saved Usman from being submitted, but that was absolutely a shitty break.

Maia was working and waiting for an opportunity that's exactly what he should do. Terrible break.

He was waiting for an opportunity for 2 minutes already. Usman had no interest in giving him an opportunity, it was a pure stalemate with no action.

Possibly it's technically incorrect and he should let Maia finish the round punching Usman in the ass, but it's certainly not that bad.

He may not look like it but, Maia is deceptively strong in clinches. Old man strength as they say

really you have been on these forums this long and you're calling it old man strength. it's bjj strength.
 
It’s been a long time but I seem to remember a horrible standup when Roy Nelson fought Alovski in elite xc , can’t remember what position they were in but Roy got dropped soon afterwards

Also Phil Baroni was fighting some can in England , the other guy must have been from there because the ref stood them up when Baroni was in mount

I know K1 Maia is a thing but didn’t a decent fighter say Maia hit like a truck?
 
Let them work. The ref should practically not even be a part of a fight.
