Really? I dont see it ending any differently. Usman is just so much bigger, he can take the fight wherever he wants to go. I feel like the only way he loses is if he gets over confident in his striking gains with Trevor Wittman

Has to be the first time in UFC history that a fighter who has never held a belt, losses in a title fight, doesn't fight again while the champion defends the belt, and then gets another title shot.

Usman vs Burns was really the #1 contender fight for the BMF belt.

Usman isn't that type of fighter though. He'll use his wrestling and cardio to wear Jorge out again.

@NYRaider You were right. Usman Masvidal 2 it is.

I expect another snoozefest unless Usman gets too full of himself and mistakenly thinks he can stand with Jorge like he did with Burns.

Which I have a hard time seeing. Against Woodley/Masvidal two guys he knew had the power to finish him, he used his cardio, wrestling, and grappling to wear them out. Burns is a legit black belt in BJJ that has won a ton of high level grappling tournaments and has 8 submission wins, he didn't want to get into a grappling match with him. We saw the same thing in the Colby fight who is also a very good wrestler as Usman just looked to out strike him.
