News Usman vs Burns OFFICIAL Feb. 13

[Mesos]

If Borz is half as good as his fans say he is. He takes the title sometime in 2021. Unless Usman somehow manages to not fight him.

I’m still not sold on Borz, but I’ll take anybody as champion over watching what I saw in the last WW title fight. I just don’t think Burns can beat him.

Khamzat wont even beat Leon lol. UFC wants him to be there champ so bad because he is very promotable in the area where Khabib is from and middle east/Russia.

Hes not ready though they are rushing him way to fast imo. Leon is a boring fighter but he is technically sound and much more experienced. He will make the fight go at his pace and get a decision.

Khamzats best chance is too spam takedowns, anyone thinking he can trade with Leon is tripping

Burns has to do something early. I think he's going to get mauled for the last fifteen to twenty if he doesn't.

 

[Joseph_McBride]

Need to add Yan & Zhang title fights to this card. Make it fight Island, Visa issues should be easier sorted out there .

 

[El Fernas]

And New...Usman did beat Colby but fight was too close (imo) going into the 5th, Masvidal was a money grab for everyone involved, including him, wasnt a true challenge.

Let's just overlook the fact that he also melted Maia in under a round.

Maia is 43 years old and 3-4 in his last 7. This is not the same Damien Maia from 2007-2016. That win doesn't mean what it would have 4/5 years ago.

 

[Landolorian]

Hopefully Burns gives a better fight to Usman than Costa gave Gender bender

Gender bender?
Oh you mean titty boy.

 

[Psychojoe86]

Great match! Good stylistic challenge for Usman.

I still think Usman will win, but I can see him taking some damage in the process.

I think Usman potentially rematches both Colby and burns in upcoming battles.

 

[Zebra Cheeks]

I’m glad they stuck to it. THIS is the fight to make. FUCK YEAH I’m pumped right now

 

[Phill]

Burns is extremely overrated. Who has the guy beat? Let's look at his last 7 fights.

Tyron Woodley: 3-3-1 in his last 7. Not the same Tyron from the mid 2010's.
Damian Maia: 3-4 in his last 7, 43 years old. Not the same Maia from 2007-2016
Gunnar Nelson: 3-4 in his last 7
Alexey Kunchenko: who? 2-2 in the UFC
Mike Davis: who? The guy doesn't even have a wikipedia page. 1-1 in the UFC
Olivier Aubin-Mercier: 4-3 in his last 7
Dan Hooker: Lost to him via KO.
1 opponent out of the last 7 currently has a winning record in their respective last 7.

While we're on it Leon Edwards is also vastly overrated. The guy's best win is a declining RDA who's also 3-4 in his last 7.

usman faking the nut show in the picture?

 

[Post 2 Decision]

Gilbert Burns is the most overrated contender in the past year lol, dude got melted by Dan Hooker and his best win is the ghost of Woodley

This will be Usman's most dominant title defense. Would've preferred a Colby/Masvidal rematch, Wonderboy, or even Chimaev fight over this shit lol.

Styles make fights
Wonderboy and Masvidal would just get wall and stalled or wrestlefucked.
Burns' skillset makes this fight more interesting

It's funny you call him the most overrated contender in the past year, but then also mention Masvidal as the fight you want to see...

 

[toowoomba]

Gilbert by vastly superior hairline, and also by not being boring

>>>

idk why but every time I see Uscan's face it feels very weird.

 

[Deleted member 567183]

I am rooting for Burns, unfortunately ! I think Usman will win via UD in boring fight

Usman is a boring fighter whether he wins or loses no one cares about him

 

[sonhow]

Usman by incredibly boring unanimous decision. 50-45.

I make this prediction hoping it goes at least a bit different way. Usman was pretty disappointing in that Jorge fight.

 

[empsim]

I really hope Burns wins but probably another boring grind decision for Usman.

[empsim]

In my opinion, You can’t call Usman flat out boring after the Covington fight. He’s just a smart fighter

That's only because he couldn't cage grind Covington for 25 minutes, which is his plan for every fight. Definitely one of the most boring fighters ever IMO.

Why is this forum obsessed with hairlines lol

 

[LetThemBleed]

Absolutely want Burns to win this however don't see it happening, let's at least hope this scrap isn't as dull as Masvidal/Usman turned out to be.

Hope so but Usman's wall and stalling might be so elite that he can do it to Burns too, guy better watch out for the foot stamps of fury.
