I can't believe how people were booing Usman, and cheering "USA!" "USA!".
This is where we've gone now in this Trump world? Usman was an all-American wrestler winning titles for the States. Sure his personality might be somewhat boring, but boos, people are fucked. So glad Colby got his ass kicked, and the broken jaw was poetic justice in a lot of ways.

I was thinking the same thing. Also I don't think Usman is boring, he's an incredible athlete and seems like just an amazingly talented, confident, loyal guy. he's just not a heel, so it can come across to fans as boring I guess. I'm pretty sure I called him the new GSP here earlier, who if you can believe it, people also called boring.
He just needs a chance to show his personality, but their one vehicle for that (TUF) is outdated so they need to find a new one. Currently it's basically cutting promos on twitter which is kind of lame in itself.
I don't know if he could ever truly be the new GSP though, the way things are in America (and Canada TBH)...
Usman cut one of the best presser promos in UFC's history as he discusses the "USA" chants. This is the type of American they should strive to be. And don't tell me this guy is boring!
Not to self-quote, but here's my reaction after seeing Usman fight for the first time (and I think I listened to him on JRE the day before). I think I got it right! No problem calling him my favourite fighter once Overeem retires (please retire Overeem).
^^^ I'm glad he addressed that, and well said. America has a real issue right now culture wise, I'm sure it's always been that way, but in 2019 it's VERY apparent.
You might have a point though, Usman is definitely GSP-esque, but you're right, he will never be accepted like GSP was, period
Finally going back to the only thing Fedor was ever really good at, beating up people who had no business being in an MMA fight
Rampage obviously is enjoying life (had to cut to make 265) and I hope he got a nice payday for this. I just hope it was a one time thing and he doesn't turn into Bob Sapp (unless that's what he wants to do and doesn't get injured - all the power to him if so)
I dont know if its been posted but on UFCs youtube channel they have theses small documentaries that are pretty interesting watches that take you back.
Nah, it was an exciting crazy 40 seconds, and if you went there it was probably to see if "the old Conor" was back. Turns out he was, and he showed flashes of brilliance in that very short time.
Would you rather have that or a 5 round ground n pound snooze fest
Either way, if you go to see an MMA event, you never know what's going to happen. That's why we watch it! I'm sure all Conor's fans who went are having a fucking great time in vegas right now lol
