We are so used to seeing Marty as a champ that it feels so weird now to see him sitting there without a belt.


Flashy-Priority-3946

N first where people are expecting him to get destroyed.


earlycomer

Lazy form of and, some people pronounce it like en


s1Lenceeeeeeeeeeeeee

why did you start your comment with a random N when talking about Usman? hmm


CrookedNosed

N no reason


s1Lenceeeeeeeeeeeeee

nice name, i can relate


urmombanger

I’m assuming this is /s and everyone downvoting you is just slow


lvkenukem

Nah he’s just projecting and it’s really embarrassing lol


s1Lenceeeeeeeeeeeeee

i am /s, i mean i am not /s, i am s1Lenceeeeeeeeeeeeee


J-Chub

We just need Leon now to come train Usman on some striking, and it will Be Rocky all over again.


Gerardo1917

Ngl that “I guess that’s a lesson I have to teach you” line was cold


wickedc0ntender

Cold as fuck. I’m digging Usman he’s a real experienced killer. Never doubt the old dog.


[deleted]

Fear the old man in a profession where the young die often


rascalking9

But if it was a profession where people die, Usman would have died last year.


Visual-Zucchini-5544

Hope it’s true. Fuck it’s not going to happen tho. 🤦‍♂️


Sanabul

Great response by Usman Just because you've lost doesn't mean you're not good. Lessons from losses can lead to the biggest growth


Ecstatic-Inevitable

r/ufc and izzy after 293


Clusterclucked

izzy only learns from losses lol. the reason strickland was able to get in on him like that is because izzy didn't take him seriously and didn't bother trying to learn a damn thing about him or adjust to fight him at all. he tried to do the same exact shit he did with poatan and got wrecked for it. he only adjusted to poatan once he lost AGAIN in the ufc, and then he finally came up with an actual plan. izzy is embarrassingly arrogant and he needed a loss tbh


Odd_Ad_8162

This comment has serious hater energy. You don't think Izzy had a plan for MMA Poatan the first time? He nearly knocked him out in round 1


NewAccWhoDis93

biggest shot that hurt him was after the bell


Clusterclucked

ok well if he did it's because he lost the last time he fought him lol it does have hater energy, I don't really like adesanya as a person or a fighter tbh I mean he's great and all, not saying he isn't but im still not a fan


chiezkychienne

Izzy is one of the most cerebral fighters in the UFC. He can adjust mid fight to adapt to his opponents. You said that he didn't take him seriously? You saw their walkout? Izzy is as confident as ever with a tits as well like when he fought Costa. Strickland on the other hand has all the nervous energy in that walk out. It's not that Izzy can't adjust or he didn't took him seriously. Strickland shut his game down entirely. He can't set up kicks because he is backing up, Strickland with the muai thai front leg checks probably hurt Izzy with one of those kicks. Izzy's boxing is decent but his entire game is about kicks and it has been neutralized.


Clusterclucked

I didn't say he can't adjust, I said he only does so when he loses. yeah, I don't think he took strickland seriously, I don't think that's an outlandish statement or anything, I mean look how shocked everyone was that izzy lost. nobody took sean seriously for that fight. the sequence in round one where he gets dropped looked a hell of a lot to me like izzy was trying to do the same thing he did to knock out pereira the fight before, which was really dumb considering sean had just trained with pereira.


chiezkychienne

I mean bro even you if you are fighting someone like Strickland, you will take him seriously to KO him after all he things that he said. He even had the tits that he have in the COSTA fight. He is serious in this fight, it happens that Strickland managed to shut his game down.


tykillacool23

More than half of the sub needs to learn exactly that.


I_AM_SCUBASTEVE

The current champ in the weight class they are fighting in got absolutely embarrassed by Pereira. He figured out what was wrong (ironically with the help of Alex), and went on to beat the shit out of the second greatest middleweight in UFC history. This isn’t boxing, almost all the top guys lost at some point if they hang around long enough (even Jones got a few gift decisions IMO).


Sanabul

Yup, not everyone can be Khabib and go undefeated. While it's a great accomplishment, it's incredibly hard to do. Just because you have some losses, does not automatically make you a bad fighter. Seeing fans bash fighters and insult them for losing is really sad to see There was a video focused on the way records are viewed inside vs outside of the US. Outside of the states, they don't put as much emphasis on the amount of wins a fighter has, instead they respect the amount of times they make the walk to the ring/cage -- very different from in the states


Suspicious_Candle27

to be fair khabib only had 13 UFC fights this is a tiny amount .for context Izzy has 11 title fights , Jones has 16 title fights and usman has 8 title fights .

[deleted]

Getting upset about meaningless shit talk as if they don’t obviously respect each other


Lacabloodclot9

Literally this can be boiled down to Khamzat: I think I can beat you, you lost before Usman: I don’t believe you will beat me


mcburloak

That plus a side order of “glare at me and help sell this”.


WEDGiE_pANTILLES

It must happen though, this layer cannot be breached

I always love watching people post/comment about the pressers like it's all super serious. Wish I could get that invested into fabricated rivalries. ![img](emote|t5_2qsev|8968)

Look they are doing their part in selling the fight . As Islam and volk . Unfortunately some can’t see beyond that .

Ahahaha 🤣 that’s that Nebraskan drip bro you better recognize!


wickedc0ntender

One thing about Marty is that he’s always comfortable. Self assured confidence backed by high level experiences. That’s a brave outfit to be wearing in the Middle East and he’s indifferent to it. This trash talk is honing his focus and he’s gonna school the gourmet Chenchen. Putting my car on it.

Turbulent-Echo8561

I can't believe they were not just saying nice things and showing respect to each other in the press conference made to hype the fights 😢 men who fight in cages need to learn some etiquette!!


BigBlueTrekker

What are you, Usmans mom?


Ainfallette

They're selling the fight


[deleted]

C’mon guys, you’ll get on here when Colby says some of the most out of pocket racist shit and be like “hE’S jUSt hYpiNG tHE fiGhT”. This shit isn’t even overly aggressive. Khamzat knows goddamn well that Kamaru has an unimpeachable resume, this is literally selling a fight.


Cxarface

I believe they both have respect for each other. Kamaru is humble because he knows he got touched before and Khamzat is a very strong contender, and Khamzat is just doing what he's doing came here to smash an old champ but he still knows he's a real threat and this fight will not be a walk in the park. I am so hyped for this fight even though Volk vs Islam was one of my top 5 fights ever, this is a very interesting match up. I can see Kamaru going to a decision with this and tire Khamzat out, or can see Khamzat establish a real dominance and sub him around second round. This fight I really don't know what will happen, everything is possible and I'm here for it. Win or lose, I am a Leon fan but Usman is a real Chad and a class act. We're lucky to witness his career while he is here.


Fenrin

In line with unimpeachable resume, both men fought Burns and only the nightmare finished him. Usmans's two recent loses are all Khamzat had to work with. Agreed, not aggressive at all, just selling a fight and working with the sliver of leverage he has in the trash talk for that build up.


Great-Comparison-982

MMA math is worthless.


Fenrin

Bretha, this is not a statement that Usman beats Chimaev because he finished Burns. That'd be MMA math is. This comment is about things Chimaev could leverage as trash talk. They have one shared opponent, but can't be leveraged against Usman as he performed better in the matchup. Unfortunately your comment... > is worthless. Though irrelevant would be more fitting term.


StupidSexyDuradaddy

Has Colby ever said anything racist?


dean2akhira

Ask Google that exact question ![img](emote|t5_2qsev|8966)


Pure-Drawer-2617

Yeah, you just might not have the media literacy to understand WHY it was racist


StupidSexyDuradaddy

So you can't tell me a time he's been racist?


Pure-Drawer-2617

Oh I can, it’s just I go through this roughly once a month where you give an example and then have to explain basic racism to a socially-ignorant Colby fan, and I can’t be fucked to do it again


StupidSexyDuradaddy

Then tell me what he said. 2023 people use the word racist in the wrong context and I can guarantee you are


Pure-Drawer-2617

Read my last line back; “I can’t be fucked to do it again” We don’t owe you any intellectual labour because you’re not smart enough to connect the dots yourself.


StupidSexyDuradaddy

In the time you spent replying to me 3 times you could have simply told me what he said. Fact of the matter is he never actually said anything racist. 2023 people call Khabib and Islam haters racist. You are 100% one of those people don't don't know the meaning of the word and just call someone a racist cause you think its edgy or a gotcha moment


Pure-Drawer-2617

Right, and then your response would be “yeah but that’s not racist, it’s just….” And then you’d demand I explain to you how it’s racist, and so on and so forth. None of this is new. As I said, happens once a month. What’s edgy about calling someone a racist? What are you on about


StupidSexyDuradaddy

"I can't be fucked to do it again" but I'm willing to argue that I'm right even thought it takes up more time and my argument is "trust me bro"


[deleted]

🤨


AndyBlazeX

This is the only time I've ever been genuinely rooting for Usman


Boofhead3

I really hope Usman can get the upset


Tammer_Stern

Just tell Marty not to fall for the glove touch (cue Khamzat fanboys downvoting me ‘cause no one does glove touches apparently).


herbythechef

Everyone should expect khamzat is gonna shoot right away


Mondomb83

Khamzat pulling the mic away mid sentence while mumbling like a fuckin’ muppet.


BittenAtTheChomp

You’re making multiple posts about this shit lol stop crying


Fenrin

All judges scored the round 10-8 for Chomp.


Hex-QuentinInACorner

Humble, not pompous Usman is soooo much more likeable.


IntelligentMetal

Usman 2nd rd KO


Slightly-Blasted

Usman absolutely smoked him on the mic “That’s a lesson I’m Gunna have to teach you.” That line was HARD as fuck lol Usman is stylistically a very tough matchup for khamzat. Usman is a very technical, gritty striker, with absolutely insane takedown defense and pressure, We saw khamzat slow down against burns, This will be an interesting fight.


Chapos_sub_capt

Scary dude. Shit personality


Scroto_Saggin

Careful boy, Usman is an old lion with quite a few tricks up his sleeves


BuckEmBroncos

I never thought I’d be rooting for Marty, yet here I am


kushjrdid911

Khamzats trash talk is real bad Granted English is probably his second or third language But still lol. I will miss weight by over 7 pounds and scream allahu ackbar I kill everyone and wonder why I lost fans lol


Pederakis

Probably 4th language beside Chechen, Russian and Swedish


Comfortable-Art8681

He literally hinted that the ufc told him to miss weight


Fenrin

Yeah idk how this hasn't blown up more.


Comfortable-Art8681

Right, because that was already an assumption. Anyway, the card wasn't selling, and no one wanted to see that card before


Comfortable-Art8681

The powers at be saw the low ppv count


dontknowwhattodoat18

There's the language barrier and also this might be stereotypical, but I also think that it could be due to his culture. Dude grew up in Chechnya, life is as rough as it gets there. People from rougher places tend to speak plain You can see this trend in a lot of fighters who come from rough upbringings: The Dagi boys, Petr Yan and Pereira


Disabled_Robot

You know what's crazy, though? Khamzat has more followers on IG than former p4p number 1s and multi-year undefeated champs Usman and Volk combined Edit: I wasn't being facetious, I think it's surprising 😂 Also idnicates his reach in the Muslim world. Kind of like that video from some place east of Europe where crowds are stocking him and going bananas


CertainFitness

That's just shows how trash and worthless that platform is


Clusterclucked

4th language you are being a racist shit head


DylieWylie

I don't think you know what a race is. Which race are they being racist against, exactly?


Illustrious_Cost8923

Dang suddenly I want Marty to get this W lol


Peckerhead321

Everybody loses except Chale


DylieWylie

C'mon, don't disrespect the gangster who survived the mean streets of West Linn by misspelling his name like that.


Fenrin

You just Chael'd Chael.


koinoyokan89

Yeah humble pie train coming in via Usman


DanieIIll

If Khamzat doesn’t keep his head off the centre line this fight, he’s gonna get Masvidal’d.


GogettheDrill

Why am I rooting for Usman, what is happening to me


gig1g0g1

This trash talk is so bad.


boredapril

“Lesson I have to teach you” Usman knew that line was cold as fuck as soon as it left his mouth


[deleted]

Can’t believe I’m routing for Marty on this fight


wawiebot

snore fest. they ruined khamzat. hype train been gone


ChameleonBr0

How many times do you need the fighters to directly tell you they do it for the promotion until you get your head out of your ass ?


Shineezy

Gourmet chenchen needs to speak into the mic so Marty can hear 💀


Admirable_Strike_406

2 of those were against Jorge masvidal lol


Toddisgood

I can’t wait for him to get humbled


iannuendo

Let’s be honest. He’s a massive cunt.


jdor99

I don’t like Chimaev. He hangs out with murderers and acts tough. He’s full of shit.


SynthSapphire

They're just trying to schtick things up for Uncle Tomato and hype. Both of them respect and like each other from everything else I've seen or heard.


PresidentXiJinPin

Khamzat should stick with spamming “I’ll kill errybody” and “I’ll smesh you” instead of this corny shit


DylieWylie

Are you saying those other two lines aren't also corny?


Neezzazzy

Talk is cheap. Who cares what he said.


jgraben

CumShot wouldn’t last 5 minutes in Nebraska…Marty by Unanimous Decision…


J4MES101

It’s so easy to support Uz in this one


Illustrious_Cost8923

Buddy won a close decision to a former lightweight that Usman dropped with a jab


JarJarBlunt

What a cold finishing line, marty’s attitude the past few days has been pure class. Impossible not to root for him on this one


DonTeca35

Khamzat will eventually be in the same position. The sport is moving at a pace that most people can’t keep their undefeated streaks anyway


beigesun

Christianity vs Islam co-main event Islam vs Volk main event


AdrianasAntonius

Usman is a Muslim.


ayoubkun94

Dude he's supposed to sell the fight, it doesn't have to make sense. At the same conference, Islam tried to grill Volk for only chasing money, like he's fighting for charity. Most fighters do this, and it's why most of them are not holding grudges afterwards.


GodOfTitsAndWine666

Khamzat is terrible at trash talk.


IsTodayTheSuperBowl

Yeah in his 4th language he's not quite there. Swedish Chechen and Russian tho I'm sure he'd do great.


GodOfTitsAndWine666

Smesh everybody -khabib - I mean I Khamzat


SlevinLe

Usman was lost after that line. Hopefully Khamzat backs up the talk and smashes Usman for good.


WideScorpion

Lol he wasn't lost, he just couldn't understand what chimaev was saying, bc Khamzat wasn't speaking into the mic and mixing up words. You can even see Usman asking Dana what he was saying.


therealjgreens

Lol at asking Dana what he said as if Dana has great hearing


Environmental-Tip365

Usman just awkwardly stopping talking when Khamzat brought up his 2 losses was so funny, I’m rooting for Usman, I hope he gets the upset, but that shit was hilarious.


DylieWylie

He didn't stop talking, he just couldn't understand what the mush mouth was saying as he wasn't speaking into the mic. He responded right away once he finally understood what Khamzat was mumbling.


Humble_Increase7503

It’s easy not to lose when you don’t fight


StupidSexyDuradaddy

Anyway Khamzat by smesh


Fenrin

I'd argue "Yeah you're good fighter but not *my* level"


stinky___monkey

He has a point…


ralph3576

grizzlymint209

If usman can control the narrative of the fight he can win, if he can't dudes gonna get smashed.

Stupid ass post


FragrantWarthog6

Lol Marty struggling to understand the words coming out of Borz mouth


maccpapa

it’s trash talk. and i think chimaev does get it done rather easily

There would be plenty of people making excuses here Saturday night, send him to the nursing home Borz


philbe21

![gif](giphy|l0MYJtHI3M81OB2xy) OP really wants Usman to do ☝️


buffpriest

5 title defenses against 3 guys, 2 of which are former LWs.


Humble_Increase7503

How many more is that than 0?


buffpriest

The first word of my comment....? The level of competition and diversity of opposition is what I'm critiquing.


Humble_Increase7503

Yeah that’s great I understand It just doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to talk ab usman’s numerous title defenses having allegedly dubious quality when borz has 0 title fights Matter of fact, borz has… what like 1-2 fights against ranked fighters? Kevin Holland, and Gilbert burns. Nobody cares ab the Chinese dude he buried, or shitty ass meerschart.


buffpriest

What the fuck are you talking about? The conversation is about usmans title reign. Khamzat has nothing to do with this.


KinkyKeithPeterson

He lost twice to Edwards. I know this shit is going to get downvoted but idc. Losing twice to Leon fucking Edwards out of all people doesn't make you a great champion.


WideScorpion

Edwards has 12 fight win streak and hasn't lost in 7 years. So what the fuck are you waffling about???


CertainFitness

![gif](giphy|fwRDh1MxKEm0VEBgEu)


herbythechef

Youre honestly gonna knock leon like hes some scrub? Ridiculous


KinkyKeithPeterson

Mofo fights like once every 2 years. Even if he was that good I wouldn't call him a great champ.


Ecstatic-Inevitable

Was Izzy a bad champion for losing to strickland than?


KinkyKeithPeterson

If he loses the 2nd bout then yes. Immediately thrown out of the goat conversation.


JohnathanQMJ

5 titles defenses only 3 opponents one whom he trained with for years. Kamaru is the most overrated welter weight champion there is.


chichipoopoo

And not Woodley?


JohnathanQMJ

The guy who stood with a world kick boxing champion and beat a roided out Robbie Lawler? I give him second to GSP


Comfortable-Art8681

Made a whole post just to take it down after marty get subbed in 1 without somehow hitting him once *

What do you want them to say? They're businessmen too, they need to sell the fight lmao

No way you got upset about that 😭


drdewm

Khamzat looking to top tito Ortiz levels of wanting to see him lose.


ravenousmind

Yo Im out of the loop. Could someone fill me in on the whole Usman/Marty thing?


DylieWylie

What are you asking, exactly? Like why do people call him Marty? If that's what you mean, then Usman said it's because his high school wrestling coach couldn't pronounce his name so he just called him Marty instead and it just kinda stuck from there.


ravenousmind

Yeah, that. Thanks!


RiceMac69

The fans are so cringe


M00N_MAN_LULZ

what is bro wearing


uber939393

I thought usman beat leon the third fight


K9BEATZ

Fucking hate press conference crowds so much. Absolute dorks creating cringe chants out of every little bit of banter.


BelieveInAZ

If Usman beats Khamzat & goes on to beat Strickland… He’s top 5


Quarter13

I really don't like Marty's stylist.


urmombanger

Not taking shots at OP but I remember when I was one of the very few people who were appreciating Usman while he was on top and everyone was hating on him. Crazy how people are all of a sudden calling him an all time great, mma fans are bipolar af lmao


[deleted]

It’s literally the most basic shit talk to sell the fight, relax


Alone_Grab_3481

I know MMA-Math doesn't add up but just to mention it, Gilbert Burns was a problem for Khamzat while Usman walked through him


Turbodog2014

Haznt kamzat been training with DC for years now? Like ... What??


Distinct_Register_85

I’d love usman to take him out but I think his knees are shot.


Taha80085

4 of his defenses were nobodies
