[@konservation6205]

For anyone who follows the UFC closely, you'll know that this is the best Usman has ever been in an interview. Well done Pat for creating an environment where interviewees feel comfortable enough to be themselves.

I’ve never saw so much positivity for Usman

[@nyfolkhero]

I honestly love when Pat does MMA interviews

This hit different I’m smacked af you right

[@romanreigns1p4pking55]

Oh he said that 💀

[@justlift213]

Nice quote but makes no fukin sense, noones training for him until they get offered to fight him and hes not training for anyone until he gets offered an opponent who he can train for as well. Kamaru Might be the most cringe ufc champ ever, and i dnt say that easily, ppl like Triple C and Izzy are close competition for cringe but he wins. The whole asking jake paul and Canelo to write him 100mil check for him to fight is wat got me, noone will ever pay him 100mil to fight. That being said hes an amazing fighter, dont wanna just bash him

[@romanreigns1p4pking55]

@@justlift213 after two paragraphs of bashing him you say you don’t wanna bash him? Lmfao and he’s not lying, ultimately everyone is training for him if they don’t have a fight and are top 5-7. He’s training to better himself hence the “I’m training for everyone” stay in school please

[@justlift213]

@@romanreigns1p4pking55 Oh crap makes sense, ill stay in school sorry for being an idiot. Someone needs to let amanda nunes know that she needs to add in some more takedown defense incase usman jumps the cage in her Title rematch with Pena, Idk if shes preparing hard enough for him, getting anxiety now that fight was hard enough Wen she only had to worry about pena

Great interview Pat, Kamaru is the man, such a humble, respectful guy, absolute beast in the ufc octagon 👏👏👏🇳🇬

[@josphatmukogosi3589]

he not humble but still a pretty cool guy

[@raulmendezgarcia]

Thank you Pat and the boys for the continued expansion on this ‘football’ show! It’s becoming more a sports show as well🔥

[@Tacsmoker]

i dont mind admitting pro wrestling brought me here,,, but im learning about new stuff/sports, in a easy way lol

[@kobeisgod2489]

Usman been one of my favorites since the Ultimate Fighter. Seen him fight in Pittsburgh n before the fight even started I said he'd be a champ one day. Dude is a beast n jus keeps getting better. So much doubt on him in every fight n each time he proves everyone wrong. He's gonna be champ a long time if he continues to want to fight

[@elspartan8239]

Nobody has ever got Usman to do a great interview except for PAT great interview!!!

[@masonsconyers2768]

Kamaru with the Stepbrothers joke. Just became my favorite fighter

Definitely need to bring him back again. A dope interniew!

Canelo lost to the better man that night, but 12 rounds and he would ko/tko Usman. I take nothing away from usman either. He's a great champ, and continues to get better every fight, but mma isn't boxing

[@g37fy68]

What’s funny is no Boxer can come in to MMA and be good yet there’s countless of MMA fighters who jump into boxing MMA has better talent and athletes

[@tacotacotington3638]

He would knock Usman out in one. His entire striking revolves around the threat of a takedown attempt.

But Canelo get mauled to death in round one in a UFC fight so this is nonsense 😂

As a very casual UFC fan I always liked Usman for some reason even as a person. finding out he's from Arlington it makes sense, it felt like seeing someone from back home.

[@thecreecher3286]

All I keep thinking is how funny it would be if Leon doesn’t get to fight for the championship again. I rather see khazmat as he has a real shot at winning. Not saying he will because usman is a monster and I don’t think anyone at 170 can beat him.

[@munkze]

Hella funny if Leon doesn’t get it again

[@javierpreciadojr413]

He won't, smash bro will put up a good fight but usman is champ for a reason.

[@anthonyhash7227]

Khamzat isint ready for a title shot he needs to fight at least one or two more fighters in that weight class. If he were to fight us man next he would lose he doesent have enough high level fights

[@alfredeneuman4947]

haha bro he always does, most fighters do they keep that information very classified. If i had to guess he walks around at a minimum of 195 and maximum 215. Since he isnt training hard because he is injured he is probably big like 210+ and he dont wanna admit that haha

Well Chandler's walking around at 186 already and he just fought last week?

They’re building the other sports following by being casuals. They’re an NFL show and say “hey, you can enjoy this too without needing to be a giant fan.” I’d be willing to guess that’s why Dana is so willing to continue pushing UFC this way, it’s huge value for them. They already have the people who love combat sports, now they’re building the volume of fans.
