    A video that needed to be made. Because all these casuals calling him washed up. 14 months ago, he was on a 19 fight win streak, 15 fight win streak in the UFC. In the second fight against against Leon that occurred 14 months ago, I think most people would agree that he was winning that fight until that headkick. The most recent fight with Leon was closesly contested too, definitely not a washed up fighter.

      He is not washes up at all but his knees are gone, and he can't wrestle without his knees, I have always respected usman and I don't get the hate he gets but I sure do respect him and he is not washed.

      he ate a HARD head kick right to the head and got SLEPT out cold. I think you're underestimating what effect that has on a fighters brain and his chin which still hasn't been fully tested since. his knees are also hanging on by a thread. guy hasn't even taken much damage over his career but it seems likely his decline started with that headkick. time will tell.

    Kamaru Usman truly is one of the all time greats, not only as a Welterweight but also all time UFC champions💯 So dominant, his wrestling was always his strong suit yet he improved so much with his striking, his KO of Jorge Masvidal and finishes of Colby and Byrne were iconic 👏👏👏👏his Welterweight championship reign was so memorable, amazing title defenses against Colby Covington, Jorge Masvidal, Gilbert Burns, so much respect for Kamaru Usman stepping up on 9 days notice to take on the tough challenge of Khamzat 🫡

      Respectfully, GSP has earned his flowers and then some. No-one denies GSP's greatness. Everyone already gives MJ his credit. But when Lebron is actively performing, give him his deserved flowers too. Don't over-index on nostalgia to give credit. GSP is one of the greatest of all time and is presently retired. And Kamaru is one of the greatest of all time too who is still active. There's no comparison. Just incredibly skilled men at the top of their game.

      Agreed. Inspiring to see how quickly he improved as a striker. He earned all my respect from that point onwards. There's something so deserving and impressive about someone who already has a winning formula with his wrestling. And then decides, rather than using his renowned strength (because although I wasn't a fan of the wrestling, I can't deny it won him his fights), decides to improve another weakness, and is now equally skilled in that department. Huge credit to Usman.

    If Marty's knees are good, Khamzat is gonna get wrekt. Khamzat had a hard time taking down Burns, which means taking down Usman is simply out of the question. This is ultimately going to become a stand-up fight putting Usman at a significant advantage. Khamzats striking only works if his opponent can't defend or is afraid of his wrestling.

    He has defeated so many great fighters, yet fighters like khabib are considered better 🤷

      I really dont see how Khabib could be ranked higher than Usman. Kamaru has the better resume and has more title defences.
