Wonderboy is a bad matchup
Eh, I think that Usman would only be in danger in short spurts. He'd control him for the most part IMO.

Why would he retire? Just 2 years ago he was still only making $55k per fight (source).I think Usman beats Burns and then retire after beating the record for most consecutive wins in the WW division, he's currently tied with GSP. He has beaten Edwards, Colby, Woodley, Masvidal, and if he beats burns then he literally beat the entire top 5.
he made bank in the Masvidal fight, 1.3M PPV buys. Remember that he's the champ, and the Colby and Masvidal fight both did well. But he has knee problems so severe that he needs to walk down backwards in stairs. With a win over Burns he has taken out any threats in the top 5, literally beating Woodley, Colby, Masvidal, Edwards and then Burns.Why would he retire?

He's got quite a few fights left. And I'm willing to bet he'd rather retire with another couple mil and 2 losses, than retire with a couple mil less.
Damn. First I've heard of that. Can you point me to a video or article or something on that? I'd love to know more. Thanks.he made bank in the Masvidal fight, 1.3M PPV buys.

Who will take the Throne? Fakenewsman is pretty damn good. Colby is 2nd best right now, and probably won't get a rematch for a few fights. Who do you guys see taking it?
I saw a video somewhere, I think it was Anatomy Of A Fighter that had it, where he had to walk backward downstairs because he has bad knees. He has also talked about this when he was on Food Truck Diaries, he has not been running for like 3 years due to this. If it's really that bad, then I do think he will retire.Damn. First I've heard of that. Good answer. Can you point me to a video or article or something on that? I'd love to know more. Thanks.
I think Burns can do it.
Leon lost a competitive fight to Usman already (Usman's most competitive fight in the UFC barring the Colby fight). A few adjustments and nothing is to say Leon can't win a rematch.
I think those are the only 2 in the UFC at this moment.
But if you want my honest opinion Lima is the best WW on the planet.
Weird you make no mention of Covington when he literally was minutes away from beating Usman before a suspect stoppage.
Age, he's 33

I can't find the video on Anatomy Of A Fighter's twitter, He either retweeted or liked it. It was Usman walking out of the cage after UFC 251.
