I love it! I still need a little more convincing that Durinho is really at an elite level for 170. He's performed very well when he's had to, but at the same time, he hasn't had to fight a murderer's row to get here. Usman has legitimately solidified himself as the class of the division. I think if Durinho had fought a Leon Edwards or even Covington to get here, I would say he would be at this time the 2nd best guy at 170. As is, I think it's Usman, Covington, and a bunch of guys who could qualify for third probably. Covington hung in there with Usman good enough and had other performances where he's at least earned to right to say he's a worthy title challenger for the time being. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) Yeah, I'm going with Usman in all of his fights until somebody beats him. He's able to be gotten to on the feet but his ability to smother, clinch, takedown, and control his opponents is pretty much unparalleled beyond GOATed Khabib. Looking at the rest of the card and man did they really load up 259 at the expense of this one (I know it's not that simple but wow what a stark contrast).

Elsalvajeloco Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 Hopefully, this is just a temporary issue due to the weight cut and he's alright. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 My major fear for Usman is if he tries to run back the kickboxing style he used against Colby, as Burns actually has power unlike Covington. While Usman has a good chin and great recuperative ability, Burns could jump on something should he stun Usman. It's boring, but Usman's best and safest strategy is to grind out Burns along the cage. This is true of all of his fights of course. The vivisection guys brought up Burns' list of opponents and how none of them have been effective pressure fighters and pressure is Usman's specialty. So much points towards Usman but of course Burns is the more fluid striker and of course is dangerous on the ground so it's not as if he doesn't have avenues. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
