@@Dazza01 Usman did not look the same in the 3rd leon fight, yet he still made it very competitive. Leon said just as much.

Usmans whole back story is something the really check out an listen too if you get a chance dude went through alot to get to where he’s at now and still be at this level !

[@BeautifuluglyDTES]

Mike is a rare pleasure to listen to,he speaks with brutal honesty and doesn't let an ego get in the way of what he's saying. I think that he speaks like a humbled man,only a person who has endured extreme hardships in life can be this way. I had to experience 12yrs on skid row to change my irresponsible destructive ways,and become the man I am today. I'm glad I had to go through addiction and being homeless,cause if I hadn't,things would be much different for me,I'd probably be dead.

Kamaru Usman is one of the greatest MMA fighters throughout history. What he has achieved so far guarantees him his place in the hall of fame. Can he win the title again? It's possible he becomes champion again he just needs a couple of fights to get the ko loss out of his mind. His last fight against Leon Edwards you could see he was too cautious because of the fear of being ko'd. No matter what he does I wish him well and I enjoyed watching him fight great fighter

This set up is insane!! 👌

[@shaunbang]

MMA is truly crazy. Every time the analysts and critics start talking about a new Goat of the division they end up losing like when Woodley lost to Usman and now Usman to Leon. This is why GSP should be the undisputed GOAT of the welterweights because he avenged every single loss then dominated after his last loss until retirement. Usman got close but GSP was on another level of dominance but also, regaining the title is a feat that is underrated in mma. Joe Rogan talks about Usman being the best because of the competition but I think he forgets the legendary names GSP beat throughout his reign and GSP also won the middleweight belt so I think the conversation for best 170lber ended when Usman lost to Leon in the last fight
