Anatomy of UFC 258: Kamaru Usman vs Gilbert Burns - Episode One

#UFC258
#KAMARUSMAN
#GILBERTBURNS
It's been a while MMA family, but through the grace of the universe, I survived. I am sorry I have been absent for a long time, but you know how it go.
Here we are, FIGHT WEEK!
Kamaru Usman, a dominant and smothering Champion that has walked through every UFC opponent he has ever faced, now welcomes a challenger unlike no other. His former teammate! Gilbert Burns is a swiss blade army knife equipped with ferocious power and black belt Jiu-Jitsu.
No one could have predicted this 1 year ago, but that is the reality of this sport. One day you may find yourself in the way of a teammate personal dream and it your duty to prevent that. Everything is on the line this week and I will admit it is hard to stomach this one, but the best man shall win.
I hope you enjoy. ANATOMY OF A FIGHTER IS BACK....

Kamaru will be appreciated when he’s done and broken all of GSP’s records. Monster.

[@vatossureno]

@Kevin Obonyo true the game has evovled. Title defences are good and all, But who you beat and how are more of value. For ex khabib beat rda but Got injured and rda became champ right after. If khabib had Not been injured and became champ in 2014. He would have alot more title defences. But he beat everybody and in pure domination. For me that is more impressice then tittel defences.

[@elb8219]

@Kevin Obonyo Usman has a lot to do in the WW division. After Burns, there is still the rematches against Colby and Masvidal and Khamzat(or Edwards) is there too. If he manages all of this, he is rreeeaally close

[@elb8219]

@@obitriceforlife5771 I know that he is very dominant already. I would put him ahead of Adesanya in the Pound for Pound rankings as well.

@@europaalchemist546 Not all good techniques and skills are flashy. Another good example of this would be Petr Yan and Poirier. They are both one of the best fighters in the world but they aren't flashy. For Usman, his clinch game nobody in welterweight really has an answer for. Usman often accumulating damage by bodyshot when he locked you there. It sapped opponent's energy away - in similar analogy to how Tony accumulating physical cut onto his opponents.

This has been the most relatable and natural I've seen Usman on camera. I wouldn't be surprised if he's just more comfortable with the attention he's been getting as the champ now. That little speech about the different hats was a bit illuminating to me.
