So usman wants to box canelo. I dont peg usman as a guy that would lose focus but alot of times when your eye is on a different prize you end up getting outboxed by a wrestler.

Is it just me or does Usman seem very distracted/unfocused for this fight? I know it's still pretty early in the week & some might see it as confidence.


He’s always been a confident shite talker and it’s never been an issue. I think he’s focused.

Press conference was a shite show as expected. Entertaining though. Crowd was really into it which is always fun.

Dont know if usman is a guy that can lose focus but 2 things have stuck out. Him chasing the canelo fight before the biggest fight of his career and that he pushed colby at the faceoff. Cant wait till saturday

Pereira already laying down the gauntlet Adesanya don't want to fight me again (10 min mark)


Pereira's hightlights. Jeez, that flying knee at 2:27. Dude's destroying people with boxing gloves and now he's going to be using mma's? Watch out.

I hope the Usman/Colby rematch lives up to that first fight. That was a great fight. I’m excited for this card

Is usman the foot stomper or is that someone else?

Could he beat a Gastelum or Vettori, though? Gotta get through a solid wrestler high up in the division before he could ever sniff the champ. Israel developed his overall skills big time.

Yes Usman does that, so did DC. Like others have said it’s possible Usman isn’t taking Covington as serious as he should be. Colby has a great chance if Usman isn’t ready.

Good Lord the post fight promo if Covington wins will be insane

This card is ridiculously stacked. Colby is carrying the hype all on his shoulders and making it fun.

Who I want to win: Colby/Rose/Chandler

Who will win: I can only see Chandler winning

Agree on Rose/Zhang and don't really see Chandler's path to victory

If Rose stays composed and calculates all her strikes.. I could easily see Rose winning this again TKO. We don't know what Weili might come with following a quick loss.. no one really does

Texeira is coaching him on the ground. He is a two weigh class kicking boxing champ. No one besides Izzy can stand and bang with him at 185.

Colby killed it during the press conference and did exactly what he was supposed to do

at him going after those two MMA journalist for talking shite about him beforehand and trying to make the show about themselves

"you look like a bottle of pepto bismol"

"drop and give me 10 push-ups John Morgan!"
