But again,,Usman was doing great until you caught him.. This was was your hail Mary..Because there was no other way you were winning that fight..
You may not like him..but respect the mans skill..

Usman used his usual cheap dishonorable tactic of hugging someone next to a fence for 5 rounds to get a decision win. To make it worse he doesn't even go for submission, like Khabib or Oliveira, he is literally just wasting time and eyeballing the clock. "Look at me judges I squeezed the guy this whole round, he couldn't do anything, give me the points!!!!"

This is how he got his nicknameSNOOZE-man, it didn't just come out of nowhere you know. That's why he never got the respect he constantly whined about. "You better put sum respect on muh name!!" - how about you earn it, assface.

Don't be mad at karma giving Usman his due and Leon humbling him straight. Usman needed some of that arrogance knocked out of him, and he got what he deserved. I don't understand why the fanboys rush to his defense, there's barely anything likable about the guy. He even tried to copy Mcgregor's lines at one point, "green panty night", SMH cringe af.

You really are a fanboy. It must be soul crushing to know that Usman was a minute shy of matching Anderson Silva's record, so close yet so far.

Legacy = ruined
Trash talk = backfired
Some respect being put on the name = not happening

How is his legacy ruined? He's still the 2nd or 3rd most accomplished WW to ever do it.

He's not the biggest and the greatest pound-for-pound macho badass like he painted himself to be, that's how.

Being just a great fighter was never enough for Usman. He really wanted to beat Anderson Silva's record and write his name in the history books. That's not happening now. He'll never be the "Muhammad Ali" or whoever else he was comparing himself to, he was just a snoozeman who will be remembered for hugging his opponents at the fence for 25 minutes.

It's so typical (and I never used this word before in my life) ofcasualsto get on their high horse and hide behind a loss of a fighter to prop up their opinions like they mean something more because of it. Leon was sitting between rounds looking all defeated like Dean Thomas mentioned - didn't want to look his coach in the eye, felt ashamed that he was getting dominated and then pulled a kick out 1 minute before the end.
Granted Kamaru's style is not your Fiziev or Chimaev level excitement, it's your fault for letting yourself be held against the fence for rounds at a time. Those are the rules and if you feel like "snoozeman" wins these boring decisions, do something about it. While everyone is whining about him not being exciting and winning decisions, he is laughing all the way to the bank with all the wins.

in the rematch I see Usman getting the belt back

Lol

You can’t win a belt from someone by hugging them and doing everything you can to not engage in actual combat…you actually have to take that sh*t from the other guy.

Snoozeman never sees a belt again in his life.

It is possible to plan an altitude training (AT) period in such a way that the enhanced physical endurance obtained as a result of adaptation to hypoxia will appear and can be used to improve performance in competition.

Btw anyone else find it lulzy that a lot of fighters are ignoring Hunter like Leon jumping over the fence and not high fiving him but going straight for Dana. Apparently he's the douche behind threatening to strip fighters, convincing them to sign chitty contracts etc. Dana is the face but Hunter is the mastermind behind a lot of the reasons why fighters are raging against UFC like fighter pay.

You're the one cock stroking.. I am stating facts. Leon had one move..just one.. It was perfect.. But overall Kamaru is the better fighter and proved it.. He was absolutely abusing Leon...Just tearing him up... You think i care about fight streaks and legacies..? Please,,I don't get in to all that $h!t.. That's for true cucks.. not I .. I'm a fight fan. I like to see fights.. You on the other hand,know about streaks and a mans legacy..? Seems as if you know alot more about Usman than i do?
Legacy ruined=so
Trash talk= so
Some Respect on his name=so
Status= so

It's called getting caught.. Leon is so good ,that he was getting schooled the whole fight.. You kids know nothing about fighting. Guy get's absolutely destroyed the whole fight,,throws a kick(beautifully timed) and he's the best fighter on the planet..
If they fight again..do you think he can win(Leon)..? If he does not catch Usman with that same exact kick,,will he win..? I don't see it..

If they fight again, Usman will never be the same. His chin has been exposed, being KO'd stiff like that, at that age is not a good thing. Who knows the severity of the permanent damage. It's possible to recover to an extend (see Rockholds chin) but it will take years of inactivity, by that time he will be Rockholds age, while Leon will be 31-33.

Imagined if Usman is the new TWood 2.0.

But on a psychological level losing a fight like this can mess up your self confidence

Yea I think Khamzat deserves the next shot if he beats Diaz. I wonder if Diaz has picked up on anything from Khamzats previous fight that he can use against him. Lets be honest he has a punchers chance and nothing else lol probably a first round TKO/sub for Khamzat

Hard to believe Drake bet $250,000 on Aldo.

Didn't they tell him to continue pursuing or do what he's been doing?

Usman only lost the first round and it still was a close round. With one tiny minute left there's no need to keep moving forward

What does the Misc think about Costa's performance? How well will it transition him to facing top 5 fighters at Middleweight next?

He looked good af against cuckhold. Jab, right hook combos all night, luke didn't know what hit him, all he did was back peddle all night and scored a lucky takedown.

hard to say,

I think Costa this time around looked to be in great shape, looked lean af on weigh ins. seems like he got his chit together. he looked fine in he octagon. I just think the whole altitude thing makes it really hard to judge. He's still a top 5 fighter in that division and can beat any one of those guys on any given day except Adesanya. But he could also lose.

Leon! what a story! born in a shack. father murdered at 13. first call after winning was to his momma that raised him.

"I was born in Jamaica with nothing, I lived in a wooden shack with a zinc roof. Look at me now, champion of the world. I told you I could do it. Thank you Dana. Thank you to the UFC for giving the kid that was born with nothing an opportunity to be something."
