Reacting To Usman DESTROYING Burns (Calls Out Masvidal)

[@tendo824]

Realistically, I don’t think any of the top welterweights can beat Usman if he keeps improving like he currently is. I thought Burns would be a stylistic nightmare for Usman but that Usman would find a way to make it through but Kamaru just walked through him like nothing. Stylistically, he’s surprisingly fluid and adaptable. He has incredible power and an even greater chin as well as unbeatable stamina. Barring a freak upset, I don’t see anyone getting the W over him at 170.

Colby is the only one even close to Usman really.

[@TomCL-vb6xc]

I’d like to see Burns fight him again if I’m honest. Only guy to make Usman look remotely vulnerable and if (I know its a what if) he’d followed up better than we’d be talking about an Usman loss right now. Reality is that Burns and Covington are the only guys Kamaru knows not to grapple with and Burns certainly has the better striking. I still think Burns has the best chance of beating Usman, I also think he - like everyone else if we’re being honest - underestimated how good Usman’s jab is and how much power he has in his hands.

[@uyema5275]

@@frosty2.010 I agree that Usman deserves more respect, but the issue is that the LW division never had a clear GOAT in the way GSP is for the WWs. So being the GOAT in the LW division is significantly easier. Second thing, Usman is not as personable as Khabib was, Usman often comes off very fake when he tries to act like a bad boy, when in reality is a genuine humble guy, he should just stick to it. 3, apart from Colby and Burns majority of his fights have been relatively boring, although technically and tactically masterful. I dont blame him, had he fought Masvidal and Woodley in way he fought Colby and Burns he most likely would have been KO'd. Masvidal is probably the second best striker in that division behind Wonderboy and Woodley although a wrestler, he is a counter-striker with explosive KO power. Usman would have lost to those guys if he decided to strike with them.

@@moh.fly354 how come Usman didn't take Bruns down then? Because Burns is also a very good grappler which made it a standup fight... and Usman got knocked down and got stunned multiple times in the same round which makes this statement so much of a joke... bruh just stfu... you seem like those dumb casuals who don't know wtf they're talking about..

[@themetalsandman9231]

@Ashley Aboley bruh do you really love that man's bbc or something? That was a knockdown he got hit with clean punch and had both of his hands on 2 the ground... that's a knockdown... was there bananas on the floor or something? Is this mario? and how tf is he gonna go for the finish miss smarty? like you said Usman is smart... you can't rush a finish cuz you end on the canvas waking up asking what happen... you idiots are discrediting both fighters even Usman himself by saying this is an easy fight... like fr this comment screams all kinds of stupidity...

[@pppnnn-k3p]

Brian I hope you see this mate, just wanted to say that your fight videos are getting more entertaining and the improvements in your analysis on MMA is noticeable, please keep it up I'm loving it. Of course there's still room for improvement but you're getting better for sure

Can you do a Knockout For Adesanya vs Blachowicksz?

[@overtaker3lilboi]

Great video bro, im not the biggest mma fan, just watch the big fights really, but i've learned a lot through you so keep up the great content!

[@danyal6181]

Masvidal still gets dominated on a full camp. Usman will bully him again.

[@louismgmcgrath5701]

loving the fight vids keep them up!!!!!!!!

[@maxgarrett8220]

usman smashes masvidal in the rematch, Usman had a broken nose two weeks out and not sure masvidal is as quick as burns even though he is the superior striker

[@david-tc4fn]

No chance, Masvidal will KO him by flying knee like he did against Askren, just you wait

[@maxgarrett8220]

@@david-tc4fn usman would eat it and carry on

[@aaultra3787]

Masvidal is deffo quicker and more technical than burns but I reckon usman will still win

[@uyema5275]

Usman definitely smashes Masvidal but he wont strike with Masvidal. A second fight will be more of the same. Masvidal is a significantly better striker than Burns.

[@SamC-yt2zs]

@@aaultra3787 no chance, Masvidal poses almost no grappling threat to Usman unlike Burns who's a demon on the mat, he wont stand with Jorge any longer than he has to. Usman will win even more comfortably than the 1st fight. Its a myth he took that fight on a weeks notice, yeah it was confirmed it was usman a week before but he was already in camp

What a great commentary. Subscribed.

im ngl brian a like u an that but usman didnt destroy burns truout the fight, burns wouldve finished it in 1 if he didnt lay on his arse for 2 minutes after he cracked usman

[@finbj6]

@wesley snipes no becuase making a case if he didnt get hit is hypothetical, he did get hit.hard. and if burns chased up on him it couldve been very different

[@cal7675]

Finnelsby 'could've' but he didn't, he lost. He ran into Usman's jab countless times.

Love the last sentence ‘MMA is great’ MMA is great indeed, great job dude!

[@fushion999]

Theres no way Usman beats GSP lol. GSP striking was so much more technical and sharp. Believe me if Colby and Burns could land shots so could GSP. This is what happens in MMA. Whoever is the next hottest thing is the GOAT or unbeatable blah blah blah. Nothing changds

[@enbonj5842]

Think the standard of opponents is higher these days to what GSP dealt with. Hard to know though but don't think you'd ever seen Usman lose to someone like Serra

[@uyema5275]

@@enbonj5842 GSP was different fighter when he lost to Serra opposed to when he went on his title run. The standard of opponents is higher, but thats simply because fighters today have better resources, training and technical knowledge of the sport. MMA standards are only relative to it time. If you give GSP and his opponents the same level of information, they are easily just as good. Fighters today arent better because they naturally better, but because the have better resoures. GSP would beat Masvidal, Edwards, Colby and such with no difficulty.

[@fushion999]

@@enbonj5842 GSP was probably fighting a lot of guys jacked on steriods during his time though lol. This was all pre USADA and I dont believe he was ever using. Also no you cant see Usman losing to Serra but then again you wouldnt see GSP losing to him either but it happened. Crazy stuff happens in this sport. If Serra and GSP fought again im confident GSP would win 10/10 times

[@uyema5275]

@@fushion999 Best example is hendrick, fought GSP on steroids, still lost. Got the interim over Lawler. He got caught popping, and was never the same then. He was a shell of his former self. There is no doubt that Hendricks was on steroids that night.

Anyone got a count for how many times Brian mentioned Connor McGregor in this one?

[@brianburke1551]

An authoritative jab is hugely important in boxing and MMA to keep the opponent guessing and being cautious about closing the distance so the distance can be kept how the jabber wants it

[@JDP9]

Ok great, but where does McGregor fit into all this... oh wait never mind Brian will probably tell us

[@bob_ohh333]

Great video tho!! As these are all opinions from different style fighters but overall everything you said was spot on well done!!

[@joshmason7148]

Masvidal wins usman in rematch, masvidal with a full camp makes usman look silly. Unbelievable takedown defence and brilliant on the back foot.

[@joeconlan3123]

R u sure about that?

[@cal7675]

How did you watch his last fight... and come to this conclusion?

[@Teddyisoffline]

U 100% don't watch the sport if u think that jorge only took the fight before because he had a built in excuse
