He wasn't this fighter in the time frame we were discussing. I was pretty much on board after he liquefied Sergio Moraes' brain. I was probably the last person here still watching TUF (tbh that particular season my primary purpose was to watch Dan Lambert and Glenn Robinson rip go back and forth), but he looked lights out as a wrestler from that point. Who was going to stop those takedowns? He was that talented. What's scary is he can now supplement that wrestling with effective striking. He got tagged tonight but that was against a guy who very much had a similar career arc. I remember Greg Savage talking about Covington prior to his UFC debut after one of his many trips to American Top Team. It was just a question of could he add the striking to go along with it much like Usman. That's why I always discussed them in the same breath.

TheVileOne Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 I thought Usman easily had the last two rounds when the fight was stopped but could be wrong. Covington definitely committed the "worked himself into a shoot" sin here considering he was doing a lot of the pro wrestling material as part of his schtick. Don't think that was an early stoppage at the end either. First two title fights were sorta underwhelming. Good for Volkanvoski. It just seemed like Max Holloway never really turned it up and got out of second gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volkanovski shut down Jose Aldo who you can still argue after tonight has never really lost a non-title fight. Plus, Volkanovski has incredible cardio.

The Natural Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 I think I still have Israel Adesanya vs. Kelvin Gastelum as my Fight of the Year then Kamaru Usman vs. Colby Covington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AA484 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 I had Colby 3-1 but I could see someone giving all 3 of those to Usman. With that said, even if Colby made it out of the 5th, it would have had to have been 10-8 in favor of Usman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will agree that all of those rounds were super close, and a 3-1 (either direction) is entirely possible. i can see the argument for an early stoppage, but i thought it was fine. Dude had a broken jaw, was dropped with a single shot twice in the last 30 seconds, and was turtling up. would obviously have lost the decision regardless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I scored it same way. 2-2 with Usman winning rounds 2 and 3, Colby 1 and 4. Colby was winning the 5th till the two knockdowns. Great fight.
