  1. Prime Rory would stomp out prime Edson 10/10 times. He never held a belt. 19 year old Rory beat prime tyron woodley so badly that woodley took 18 months off and cried about racism being the reason he didn’t get a title shot, instead of accepting that a 19yo without a wrestling background MUTILATED him on the feet AND on the ground. Woodley threw 3 strikes in 3 rounds. It was one of the most humiliating beat downs I’ve seen in the sport. Many exceptional fighters never held belts.

  2. I was sure the race grifter was going to get the decision despite losing 4 rounds in a row and almost getting knocked out. Useleff is American, but won’t carry the flag. He’s a leech.

  3. No, he’s not one of the best strikers, not even top 50. That is a crazy statement. Got some great kicks.

  4. Useleff is 30, he’s near the end of a fighters prime, if not already passing it. Young fighters are under 23.

  5. Useleff won round 1 10-8, then lost 4 consecutive rounds and almost got finished in the process. This fight wasn’t close, it was competitive, but not close.

  6. @sandman62100 Dom Cruz immediately corrected him and Dom is 5x the fighter bisping could ever be, while also being 5x the analyst, and 5x the man. Mike just blurts things out.

  7. @sandman62100 You don’t know who Dom Cruz is, do you, kiddo 😂 There isn’t a fighter or fight fan alive, with a clue, who believes Mike is better at any facet of the fight game than Cruz.

  8. Check out a Darren ‘The Damage’ Elkins fight. ‘The Damage’ isn’t referring to what he dishes out 😂

  9. @BamOuttaDaBayou Race grifters are VERY hard to reason with, mate. Usaman is American. He wouldn’t survive a day in Nigeria, he has nothing in common with those people. The true insult was the refusal to carry the American flag. Even if he carried both together, it would have looked less like an outright “fvck you” to the country he spent his entire life benefiting from.

  10. @SlappingSideways I’ve been watching since UFC 1, he’s not a top 50 striker, he has fantastic kicks. He can’t fight moving backwards. His boxing is nothing to speak of. He can’t handle pressure well. He makes bad decisions. His defence isn’t sound. He needs space to operate. The UFC has been in operation for over 30 years, in that time, it has had a LOT of striking discipline world champions come and go. Again, Edson is not in the conversation for greatest strikers in his division, let alone the sport.

  11. Yep, if you’re fighting an American carrying a Nigerian flag, the judges have special instructions. You likely need a finish.

  12. Well, it was competitive because they were well matched. It wasn’t close because Edson won 4/5 rounds.

  13. It’s absolute clownery 😂

  15. They held it at the apex.. small cage is a disadvantage for Edson. They wanted the race grifter carrying the flag of a country he doesn’t live in, to win. That’s why the losers post fight was updated first.

  16. @jayboi7565 He’s at the end of his prime, and Edson is well past it. Very impressive. Just pointing out that the race grifter isn’t a 20yo prospect, he’s at the end of his prime. Pushing far past 30 and achieving success is only for very rare fighters. Useleff ain’t that guy.

  17. @BamOuttaDaBayou Declining natural test levels, changing brain chemistry. We become slower and more cautious as we age, our subconscious causes us to hesitate. Special fighters can go mid-late 30’s, this guy isn’t special. It’s a young man’s game.

  20. Definitely. 4 rounds to 1, useleff was closer to being finished than Edson.
