Will they wrestle in the rematch? (Usman vs Colby)

[DOMMA]

Usman's striking has improved significantly. I doubt Colby can hang with him on the feet. On the ground Colby may have a cardio advantage, not sure. 70 / 30 Usman.

 

[Leon]

No. Usman by brutal KO

 

[JoeyJoeJoeJr]

Usmans striking has improved dramatically since he’s become champ. He’s not the best in the division, but with his long arms and athleticism and obvious desire to learn, he’s done pretty good. Showcasing 3 kos in 4 defenses.

Yeah I guess, I just don't think his opponents striking is as good as some people think. Burns really isn't that good on the feet and Masvidal is old, these guys are kind of amateurish compared to real seasoned strikers but the UFC doesn't really have many decent strikers.

 

[Dirty Frank]

Would love to see it. Both are fantastic wrestlers and it'd be awesome to know who's the best at WW

 

[Eric Silva 2.0]

In their first fight both were claiming they were the better wrestler and neither shot for a single takedown

We all want to know who the better wrestler is

I think Usman will win the wrestling. Colby's best chance is on the feet.

 

[Lucas1980]

Colby has to, even if he outlands Usman 2 to 1 his weak MAGA punches can't hurt anyone.

MAGA punches?

 

[Fight Professor]

Colby only needed to keep his mouth closed when punching to win the first fight.

But now Usman looks much more comfortable on feet and Colby has not been active. He should definitely try wrestling.

 

[Kos Fan]

Usman has the most underrated tdd in history. Colby won’t be able to take him down and if he does, no way he keeps him there.

 

[Raymundo Alvarado Guevara]

Colby maybe yes, Usman no

 

[Russie]

I hope it goes to the mat and we get to see who can take the wrestling side of this. I expect though Usman will elect to keep it standing and try to make much more quicker work of Colby.

 

[Paolo Delutis]

Usman K.O within 3 rounds

 

[Whitestallion]

Well Colby definitely should try to wrestle Usman, because he'll get pieced up on the feet this time.

Without the early stoppage its a draw or a clean 3-2 Colby tho

 

[Paynebringer]

Usmans striking isnt very good, his best chance is on the feet

Looks rather lethal to me.

And if is striking isn't very good, why would his best chance be on the feet...?

 

[DaRivv20]

Colby doesn’t want to catch Trevor wittman trained hands.

 

[Tweak896]

Hope Colby loses, pathetic when the top contender sits on a win from a retired fighter for a title shot. Usman has been fighting since then and will be sharper than ever. Colby will probably try to wrestle and Usman will deny him and KO him.

I think we will see a very similar match. But it may end earlier. Usman's striking seems be better than it was against Colby the first time.

Colby should go for the take down early. He gets it and does some damage on the ground, it could really change the mindset of Usman.

Colby can't take down Usman who has the best TDD in his category.

Usman is a tank Colby can try use Wrestling and waste energy.

 

[Safton]

I hope so.

Usman would squash him in wrestling. There's a reason he didn't try that the first match, Usman is the better over all and especially mma wrestler.

Oh, by no means did I mean it would be smart. But going at it with the same game plan, I see this ending sooner for Colby than the first time.

Either way, I don't think Colby really has the tools to upset Usman. Usman at this point will only lose by a strong striker that just happens to connect and turns his light out and that is easier said than done.
