Media Usman Said the best joke ever

[spannered]

MMA fighters want to lucky punch their way to immortality.

They know they have puncher chance in striking sports like boxing.

Funny how they don't call out free style wrestlers to wresle haha.

Peasant mindset.

The top guys in freestyle wrestling earn $0 per match. Canello earns 30 million a match.

These guys don't care about getting KOd in the ring for a few million.

 

[El Fernas]

He doesn’t want to fight Izzy because they’re really close… well they hardly know each other, but they’re both the same race so they can’t fight

Both grew up across the globe from each other.

 

[El Fernas]

Usman being intelligent here… he’s just attaching his name to Canelo for the headlines and clickbait (like this thread). You can tell he knows he’s being cheeky by the smirk on his face.

He already did that with one of those annoying boxing "reporters" that yell at fighters during big events recording with their phone and even when that was clearly a joke it made some headlines and clickbait videos, this interview was more serious even with his tone, sad thing is, Canelo knows Masvidal more than he knows who Usman is.

 

[Poirierfan]

I think Usman is a good person, but he has been so unlikable since day 1 with his 70% comment

He refuses to say he wants to box Canelo even though that’s clearly what he’s implying and he does it in this weird cadence that’s annoying… then when asked about Izzy he can’t just say he doesn’t want to go up in weight, he says he’ll not fight, but COMPETE for 100 million…

The UFC should stop letting this dude do media, it’s better marketing for him to say nothing

30%

 

[Fergelmince]

He's in a bad spot. No one can beat him at WW. He' scared AF of the MW champ so he hides behind the "buddies" clause to avoid twinkle toes. He KNOWS the UFC won't pay him multi $millions to fight twinkle toes so he demands $100m, lmao. Oh, And canelo???

 

[shogunrua]

Usman isn't even the top 5 boxer of his division and he wants to box the best in the world? Get the fuck out of here.

 

[SG123]

Usman's ego is hard to watch sometimes.

He has zero chance to beat Canelo Alvarez. Zero.

Usman's chin is not good enough, and his infighting is not good enough.

He would probably lose by third-round KO, in a pure boxing match.

Not a chance he makes it out of the first round

 

[C0NCH3TO]

No chance. Israel has much bigger frame and size in general, than anyone he has fought in his career (Vettori will always be harder matchup). He wouldn't be able to hold him down. Also, he is very hittable dude who gets woobled easily even if he gets punched rarely. He would lose swiftly in that one. Scratch that, I don't see him being able to beat Whittaker, Vettori or Cannonier for that matter. Maybe even Costa. His huge size advantage is completely negated in MW. And many of those boys up there wrestle while being better strikers than him.

Israel hasn’t fought a single good MMA wressler in his prime. Usman would be BY FAR the best mma wressler he’s ever fought. Israel is good, but he’s also extremely lucky that guys like prime Shael, Jacare, Lindland, Hughes, Gsp and Weidman are not around. His tdd and ground game are very suspicious.

 

[EnthusiastCultivator]

Usman beats Adesanya, the blueprint is there, hold your own in striking and then utilize wrestling in the later rounds, albeit easier said than done, but Usman got great boxing and power not to mention a great chin.

 

[McGeezle]

No worse than nate vs khamzat. Fucking bald pink goof

 

[The Mookster]

He already did that with one of those annoying boxing "reporters" that yell at fighters during big events recording with their phone and even when that was clearly a joke it made some headlines and clickbait videos, this interview was more serious even with his tone, sad thing is, Canelo knows Masvidal more than he knows who Usman is.

Its just a method of self promotion. He said he wanted to box canelo, got headlines and didnt have to assault anybody or get arrested to do so. Its really a harmless way to get people talking about him. Unsure why ts is surprised. Id call out mayweather, canelo, khabib whoever if it was going to make me more money. Thats the business side of it. Even Khabib had to say a lot of stuff to get his name out there (prior to the Conor fight). It just has to be done these days with very few exeptions

 

[gluehuffer1776]

the funniest joke is him repping nigeria when he lives in nebraska

 

[GeneTunney7]

I remember Chael exposing Silva for this lol, "He became friends with Machida and Filho, cuase they whooped him in practice", Shogun also said they were not friends iirc

Cant forget Jacare and Jones too! <Lmaoo> Jacare would have been a super compelling match up with his athleticism, striking and grappling, and Prime Bones vs Andy would have been an all time great super fight, but they became friends.

 

[Dacha]

No termination date in his contract lol.

He can’t be serious<{chips}>

 

[Benoitthegr8]

 

[TerrorTimmy]

Well of course Dazn would post that to hype up their own event

Doesn't mean it's true, but of course they'll say it is

 

[rear naked ankle pick]

Canelo would beat Usman in every combat sport, including wrestling

 

[drbolony]

He said that in his interview with Max Kellerman too. Imagine saying that shit to Max Kellerman with a straight face when just two years ago you were throwing punches like this:


I get it, he wants to make his money, and no one cares about my opinion, but I'm going to give it to you. It looks desperate and bad and the top p4p in one sport is begging one from another sport for a payday under their rules, just for the check. This is the type of shit that gives rise to Paul brother types who think they can disrespect fighters because they get them payed.

 

[drbolony]

Also why was this thread merged? Same info but two different interviews. One was with Max Kellerman, the other with DAZN
