[@TheEMFB]

Usman should have a spot here. The guy is rematching dudes that he already finished and/or dominated and the UFC is calling for him to move up to fight Adesanya.

Man I love the MMA community

[@tesaikealiiolanakila]

By the time Anderson let himself be KO'd, he had been trying to give the title away. Don't believe me? just take a look at 5-4 bouts before the Weidman KO, like around the Leites, Maia fights.....as Cage Fighter, I always said to those who asked, "I'll do it until it's no longer fun for me", and I could tell that Anderson was growing tired of the Obligation that comes with the #1 Headband, he was tired of Dana and he just wanted to be in Brazil, teaching The Spider's way of Muay Jitsu and growing his family. Mad Respect!

[@MistaTofMaine]

Anderson could have been GOAT but yeah he got sloppy for several fights and eventually got caught and paid the price.

[@Journeyman2585]

You don't know what you're talking about. He submitted Chael Sonnemy when he could have just let the clock run out, he kicked Vitor's face into oblivion, he made Forrest Griffin and Stephan Bonner look like children, and he destroyed Yushin Okami without breaking a sweat. Don't say stupid shit, it makes you look like an idiot. He didn't let himself be knocked out. GTFOH.

[@sukhdevr3489]

He was trying to give it away but he also was messing about too much and didn't really care if he was losing.

[@sukhdevr3489]

@@Journeyman2585 In the Weidman fights he was messing about. He could've easily beaten him but the first fight he messed about too much and the 2nd fight he got unlucky.

[@tesaikealiiolanakila]

@@MistaTofMaine Is it sloppy if you are intentionally trying to loose? I think it was the Maia fight where he started to look visibly frustrated at the opponent for not taking the opportunity he was being gifted. What looked like taunting was actually him getting P.O'd and saying "come om hit me! why wont ou advance so I can lay down for you!?" take a second look. Honestly if I were his opponent at the time I may have been hesitant as well, He did Make Forest Run, and kicked the soul straitoutta Vitor like he was The Ancient one in Dr. Strange.

Vettori was on a win streak though, it wasn't a short notice replacement fight. Izzy also answered questions about his skillset after the loss to Jan.

Pump the brakes on Izzy, he’s still got a lot to prove. Also, MW has been pretty weak comparatively since he’s had the belt.

[@patrickpritchard7667]

He still cleared the division tho? He’s literally fighting Whittaker a second time? And just fought Vettori. Brunson is looking good for a second shot at Izzy if he gets past Cannonier who has a loss to Whittaker? He did what the title says. Cleared his division

[@razrsliq7623]

I get this, but keep in mind Usman has also already beaten contenders like Leon earlier in his career, and although Leon is a totally different fighter now, I still think Usman will handle him easily. He’s beaten Gilbert, Colby and Jorge twice, and if he does beat Leon, the only other top 5 guy I could see getting a shot is Luque, but he even still needs another fight.

It’s still insane to me that Anderson had to win at UFC 162, Jones had to win at UFC 165, and GSP had to win at UF. 167 before the UFC would even entertain a champ vs champ fight between them. Now, champ v champ fights are made before a challenger even wins. It’s criminal that we missed out on Silva/GSP at 178 pounds.
