UFC is preparing for Usman/Covington. Prove me wrong

[Sam's UFC title reign]

The UFC is trying to give Usman/RDA in hopes that he wins to set up a title fight with Covington. I feel they originally wanted to go with till but since he missed weight they are punishing him by not giving him an immediate title shot. He'll probably need one more fight before. they know the two have similar styles so Usman beating RDA is almost certain if he plays a similar game.

I'm already falling asleep thinking about it..

 

[Sansnom]

How about you prove us right instead of us proving you wrong, which you are.

Colby melts 30% usman easily , usman will get destroyed by king of chaos

UFC give Usman the most favorable match up in the top 5. I feel he loses to all the other 5 if he doesn't make radical improvements to his striking game and starts ground and pound instead of lay and pray. UFC openly doesn't like Tyron to the point they made an interim title despite him coming back in less than 2 months. UFC was so high on Colby that they were willing to give him a title shot over Wonderboy. Colby vs Usman is clearly a fight the UFC is thinking about

What was the point of letting Fitch go if it's to promote boring fucks like Covington and Usman? People use to complain about the Fitch and GSP days, but WW is much worst now. It's so bad that I can't tell what would be worst between Woodley/Thompson III and Covington/Usman.

 

[SJP_SevenLaker]

They've been on a crash course for a min now.

 

[cburm]

Usman beats colby at 20 % lets be honest thats a horrible matchup for colby

 

[Anomonis]

Should be a good one to skip. Colby is extremely boring, and Usman's striking was laughably embarrassing in the Maia fight.

What's up with the whole 'prove me wrong' posts on this site? NOBODY can prove you wrong, just like YOU can't prove you're right. If you wrote 'make something up'... it'd make more sense. Usman may be the loudest opponent of the douche that is Colby, well him and Tyron... but Colby doesn't have that many fans, I'd love to see Till move up and decapitate him with a punch from his left.

I'm still waiting for some DM's to get released.

Usman is just the bigger, stronger, but less skilled version of Covington.

Its a debate. So yeah its an opinion but im looking for someone to discredit this viewpoint. And yeah I would have prefered Till

Usman is a poor man’s Colby.

There is a reason they are giving him Colby’s scraps. It’s all he’s worthy of fighting.

Maybe Usman can get Woodley in a number 1 contender matchup after Colby melts Woodley.

Bro, I know that... I'm not autistic, I was attempting to make a point. Nobody cares about Usman, and nobody really cares about Colby. Everyone see's through Colby. The best way I've seen it described was by one of those youtube MMA video makers. It's easy to see through Colby's "shit talking" and nobody believe's it, becasue he never turns it off. There's always some schticky think he's spouting off the mouth with.

Even Conor, after a fight would be humble and say good things about his opponent. For Colby it's "I'm raw steel and something sex appeal" or whatever the fuck he says". It comes off as bad WWF trash talking and scripted than anything real. If you hung out with Conor, just 1 on 1... he'd still be that same Conor. If you hung out with Colby 1 on 1, he'd be staring in to his cell phone, not saying a word.

Nobody cares about him, as evident on the 225 PPV numbers, if you can believe them 150k - 250k. I'm a huge whittaker fan and got it for him. I could've given 2 shits if RDA knocked Colby out. I'd love to see Till knock him out though, so there is that.

I will prove you wrong.

Interim unifies with the Champ

The UFC is trying to give Usman/RDA in hopes that he wins to set up a title fight with Covington. .

Sometimes I wonder about IQ level of some human beings. So will it be for interim interim on top of interim title? Or should I bet million dollars on Covington/Woodley since we already know Covington will win?

yeah i fucking hate him too and

there are two was you can win a title shot- A title eliminator and an interim title shot. Gastelum vs Jacare can be considered a title eliminator bout where the win gets a title shot. Same with Ortega/Edgar. On your second point, I dont think i can be certain who will win But the UFC does act like they know the winner before the bout takes place. They overpromote the fighters they think are going to win. Look at Till Wonderboy where the UFC made an entire new show just for him to get more screen time. The UFC thinks Colby wins it. Same with Perry Ponzi, Dern ABC, Ronda Nunes.
Finally dont bring IQ into debates, it makes you seem less intelligent than you are as you did bring up good questions.

 

[Cheapshart]

I can't imagine anything the UFC wants less than Usman as Champion.

 

[digitalman45]

UFC doesn't want Usman fighting for a title.
