Firstly, Kamaru Usman is a great fighter. But as you have said before, maybe he is past his prime. They both also have a large age difference. Currently Usman is 36 years old and Khamzat is still 29 years old and the average fighter is considered to be in his prime when he is 30 years old. Age is not always a benchmark because there are still very great fighters over the age of 35, such as Texeira, Miocic or Jones. But not all fighters are blessed with a long prime, especially when they have experienced brutal defeats.
Secondly, Usman moved up to Middleweight (correct me if I'm wrong) which of course was a slight advantage for Chimaev because he didn't have to cut too much weight.
And if you look at Kamaru Usman's side, in my opinion, if a fight is decided suddenly like this, each fighter will not have the opportunity to study their opponent in more depth and prepare a training camp to train intensively so they have to rely on experience and their respective fighting skills. And Usman, as a fighter who has fought more than 20 times in the UFC, certainly has a slight advantage here.
For sure age matters in this fight and looking back on Kamaru Usman's recent fight against Leon Edwards is surely a take here if he wants to wrestle with Edwards on the ground for sure he can do it but he did not for sure if Kamaru Usman doesn't have the power to take Leon Edwards on the ground Khamzat Chimaev can instantly for me Khamzat Chimaev had an incredible strength he even showcase to lift Daniel Cormier instantly in their meeting well this is just a casual meeting and just having fun but to showcase strength like this for sure I think that Khamzat Chimaev has more strength to go against Usman in the ground,
Dillon Danis is back at it today shamelessly tweeting at Dana White to try and get a fight lined up for him in the UFC to get himself another payday. Sadly, because of his lawsuit with Nina Agdal he’s probably going to have to find himself some more fights somehow. Otherwise he’s going to end up bankrupt after all is said and done.
Shame on him for running his mouth so much for sure this is an example of trash-talking going in a negative way, and sure he is just doing this to hype the fight but he has done it and crossed the line for sure that is why he is paying the consequence, even though that fight with Logan Paul have to rack him millions that millions will not last because of the filed lawsuits and the way he fights inside the ring I really think many are not falling for what he has to say right now, and many are disappointed for sure,
