Village people should for once back up a person like Usman for example instead of always bringing people down.

Just as we have always done, we failed again. Must a Nigerian always have other countries citizenship before we succeed, I'M very sure this man must have been so frustrated trying to look for sponsorship before he left.

Calm down bro, Kamaru left Nigeria when he was still young, before he even taught of fighting for a living.

That was his first title defense against Colby. He won his belt against Woodley.

Calm down bro, MMA is still not very popular in Nigeria and even Africa. Kamoru Usman is the first African to win a UFC belt and he achieved that feat just last year. The fact that most Nigerians are not even aware that such a big fight is happening today says it all. We don’t have the facility to produce a UFC fighter in Nigeria for now.

However, with the exploit of Usman, Adesanya, Super Sadiq etc, the sport will continue to gain popularity in Nigeria. With time, we may be able to produce champions right from Nigeria.
Thanks for making me see it from other angle, unlike those who qouted me lately. Can i stream it from my mobile device.

He left naija at a young age, can't really say what age. But I know his father has been in the US for a very long time, probably 80s or early 90's

Masvidal is good but overated. Everybody's talking about how he boxes and all of dat. Woodley does dat too and got beat by Usman convincingly. Woodley is also a hard man to place a Target on because he's always on d move. To me, Woodley is d biggest threat yet to Usman and dats y his fight with Gilbert burns would have been a BIG DEAL credibly.
What's beating d drums for gamebred is the disastrous win over Askren. Askren would have easily pounded gamebred into powdered fufu if not for the 7secs flying unforseen knee knockout. Askren always approach a fight like it's a Texas salon brawl. Well, now he knows better.
When u fight a guy dat hugs u all night. Pushes and sticks u to d ropes and is just working your joints until he secures a takedown. Then he gradually works his way towards a full mount. Dude, that means trouble. That can make a three round fight look like 20years. Because hammerfists, punches well pulled out and rolled into fireballs and dagerous elbows will be what will come or coming your way all night, most likely. It might come slow, but you can't deny the wear and tear that comes with the punishment. And dats Usman for you.
Nigeria does not have d facilities to train someone for a standard MMA fight. But dat shouldn't stop u from pursuing your dream as an MMA fighter if u start practicing hard by yourself and with whatever u can find.
I think Usman wins this. Because he won't trade punches with Gamebred. But if he does, na only God know dat one o.

The way Dana has been hyping this masvidal, I hope he falls tonight. So many people say usman is a boring fighter, but who cares? He gets the job done.
I thought he called Dana out for contractual disputes. This fight is very surprising...

You really know the sport but you can't help but love Gamebred, niggaz just too sleek.
Has too many tricks in his Arsenal too, underating him will spell doom for karamu.

It's like you missed the fight between Woodley and Gilbert Burns. Woodley was beaten black and blue, I really felt pity for him. Burns is the biggest threat in my own opinion. He is a complete fighter and very courageous. Also very humble. If not for Covid19 infection he would have been the one fighting tonight.

I don't think Usman is underrating him. I also think Mas thinks too much of himself especially as he's a striker. All dat will change in seconds when Usman starts dictating his existence in d cage. Mas us beaten Till, Woodley has beaten Till. Woodley has takedown defence and a very high one at dat. Mas? I don't think so or at least not as much as Woodley.
Usman would be d aggressor all night because he needs to cling to something or he looses. And dat something is going to be gamebred.

No, I didn't Brov. I mentioned it on d one u quoted. Beating Woodley is indeed a BIG DEAL. Dude had multiple title defences proven all contenders as pretenders. Still I respect Woodley. Since he lost to Usman, he's been thinking in fights. It's hard to concentrate when your opponent is unpredictably versatile. Usman doesn't care how d fight starts. And ever since he disconnected Colby's jaw, he has earned my respect the more. Do u know what it takes to dislocate someone's jaw?

I don't think they had any contractual disputes. Nigga is jus trying to make more money. Kind of trying to re-evaluate himself in terms value. Everybody wants to be a Connor McGregor these days because of d money dat comes with the hype. Jon started it when he was picking a fight with Ngannou. It's a clever way to retire on style win or loose.
Re: Kamaru Usman Vs Jorge Masvidal: UFC 251 - July 12 by petraroot(m): 5:50pm On Jul 11, 2020
This fight isn't sure for either of the two. Kamaru is more of a complete fighter compared to Masvidal. Then again Masvidal has that that instant KO flying knee. My money is on Kamaru The Nigerian Nightmare.
Re: Kamaru Usman Vs Jorge Masvidal: UFC 251 - July 12 by meobizy(f): 5:54pm On Jul 11, 2020
I stopped watching this human cock-fighting after the Poirier vs Hooker fight. It is all a matter of time before two opponents murder each other or one kills the other. I don’t have any problem with people who enjoy the sport; yes, fights are entertaining, but I’ve hung my gloves. I won’t consciously watch someone die and have it linger in my conscience. I wish both opponents good luck. May the more deserving fighter win tonight.
