the guy just went to war with the number 2 guy. that pace was insane that’s not a knock on his cardio. It’s rare you see fights like that. All questions were answered in an awesome fight.
Mma fans are absolutely retarded.
Yup
Doesn't have cardio to sustain wrestling pressure through a single round let alone 5 rounds.
Could barely make it 3 rounds, Colby sets a faster pace over 5 rounds, and Usman can keep up with Colby.
Mediocre top game
Poor striking defense
Burns isn't a high level striker, he's been outstruck numerous times.
There were positives.
- Is always dangerous
- handles adversity well
- he showed he belongs in the top 5
- was able to make championship weight.
Prior to this fight, fighters had very little to work off because he never fought long enough to be studied for any weaknesses.
This fight exposed a lot.
There's no way you watched that fight, and would put him as anything but a big underdog against Usman, and even less chance against Izzy.
He's light work for Izzy
Even if Burns and Khamzat rematch, the odds would be even, where as this fight had Burns a +500 under dog. That alone should show how far Khamzat's stock has dropped.
