Respect Kamaru for whipping both these guys twice and still being super humble and admitting he is a fan of both fighting styles... sounds like a real Martial Artist
He never “whipped” Colby whatever the heck “whipping” means anyway
@@KoC2 1st Fight? 2nd knock him down twice defend every takedown even tho was Close colby wasnt taking the belt for a close decision it gotta be a bigger difference
@@KoC2 dude literally broke colby's face the first fight.
@@KoC2he destroyed Colby and broke his face. Colby ran out of the octagon crying like a girl
You become humble when there's nothing left to prove. It's 2-0 each and no trilogy. They basically done..
It’s nice to see a father who cares about his sons and their well being and roots for them. Shout out to Kamaru
yea just like wat izzy did to his sons
Colby beat Usman 3-2
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
@Strickland's burner that was a close fight. I had it 3-2 Izzy watching live, but weasel breakdown showed where it could’ve been 3-2 Rob.
But that wasn’t a robbery and could’ve easily gone either way
That's awesome that his daughter wanted to go support her brothers in person. Usman raising them all right.
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂

😂😂😂😂
Usman is such a supportive dad. Never showing bias towards either of his sons, and being there to watch their big fight
Lol!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haaa
LOL Killed it
Yo, mad funny!!!😂😆😆😆
It is honestly crazy to think Kamaru beat both of these fighters twice. Colby and Jorge are no joke.
I don't know why people think that! Masvidal is average at best
@@AhmedAdel-et3kk but he's a "G"....
@@AhmedAdel-et3kk top 10 welterweight in the world is “average at best” ? I want what you are smoking
@@nonperson1844
Beat 2 guys on steroids twice, that makes it even more impressive.
@@AhmedAdel-et3kk
It's always hilarious when a complete nobody calls someone who fights at the highest level average at best.
Usman has great insight on both fighters. I respect him he gave unbiased answers and even said he was a “fan” of both of them. With that being said I can’t wait for this fight
As a espn crew he has to sell the fight as well
Ditto
@@thatswhatithought6519 he don't have to do anything ya dork
And most imortantly he making turtlenecks cool again !
@@Ijbvfknnn yes he does you fool
Usman is such a gem to this sport. His personality doesn't come across great at times but he's really come out of his shell in the last couple years.
Last statement from Usman was spot on.. 100% agreed.. in wrestling during training someone can be completely careless about elboow, punches, knees etc.. but in a fight you can't ..
I think people are forgetting that. But I still got Colby winning.
@@Emmany97 Yes.. A wrestler with that type of gas tank will always have an edge .. at the end it is going to play a major role ..coz it going to be full of striking and takedown attempts.. Colby has an edge but Jorge has good chances too . I wish Jorge wins this ..
@@kkrritesh you must be a nerd and a virgin. Colby Chaos gets it done! King of Miami! Trumps favorite fighter! Journeyman Street Judas is done!
I never was an Usman fan but this last few years as champ he’s grown on me. Dude is a true champion whooped everyone to get there and fights all challengers.
Facts! Usman is the total package. He comes off so likable here.
He has hired the same guy Jon Jones hired, teaches them the white people media PR.
He doesn't have great mic skills, but he makes up for it with what he can do in the cage. Very excited to watch hi might every time.
Cause you were brainwash by racist white fans. Every real mma fans knew Usman is different when he said he dominated a so called viking at 30%.
Everyone loves Usman now lol
Crazy to see Usman admit to being a fan of both of them, I respect that maturity a lot.
He just added Jorge there I think he a legit fan of Colby though because of the appreciation he has for him as a fighter and his biggest test till date.
usman lost to colby
Usman is a real dude that's why
@@thecount1 2-0
@@thecount1 interesting. I could of sworn he beat up Colby twice but go off
Usman is honestly a fantastic analyst. Dude is a humble and beast of a champion, but not only is he king of the division - his insight and way he does analysis is special.
My theory is that this the real kamaru, his personality is kinda nerdy and that’s ok. Probably why he sounds cringy when he’s trying to act like a thug.
Too bad he wants 2b a marriage counselor after retiring 🤣
@@titansfitness3393 🤣🤣
@@alexandruana3476 he's obviously somewhat of a nerd and isn't all about that hood or gangster life. He's still my favourite fighter
@@titansfitness3393 wait what lol. Nice joke
I was never a fan of Usman but seeing him talk so humbly about two opponents he beat makes me respect him so much and made me a fan. Much respect to Usman I’ll definitely buy his next PPV!
Dudes a beast i used to hate on him but naw his work ethic especially the way hes just been destroying these top dudes is way too much to not respect hes my favorite fighter as of right now he's insane i gotta respect his resume the dude has earned it
Don’t let race dictate who you like and dislike in sports, that’s a very low IQ narrative.
People care not to care so thanks for telling us but we don’t care
Why wouldn’t you be a fan he’s reaching goat status
@@matthewanthony4606 losers like you who fixate on race all day are so pathetic. Must suck living your life constantly feeling like everything has to do with racism
Did not expect that energy from Usman lol
I mean both are his kids
@@davidanyasike2821 Colby took 3/4/5 to most of the public. Jorge never had much success in either fight.
@@Cts_99 i saw it as a very obvious win for Usman. Usman threw the harder counter shots but Colby did swarm him a few times. I feel like Colby waited too much the second fight. Their first fight I had Colby win at least three of the four rounds they went. Second fight I had it 3-2 Usman. Colby wasn't as active as he was the first go
@@Cts_99 usman clearly won that fight
Than you havent been watching his interviews over the years
Love Usmans direct unbiased analysis of the fight 🙏🏾
I consider him the perfect commentator for the situation really. No, like REAL-ly. May be the only candidate to know which is truly better.
True
Cov should learn from him. Kamaru Usman is the gold standard.
Analyst Usman lol
I can imagine Kamaru appreciating this well more than any of us.
He’s just a good ole fashioned pro and that’s why he’s champ. Colby could never show this kind of humility which is why he’ll never be champ
Imagine how good it must feel for Usman to sit back and break down a fight between two guys he fought twice. 4 times in total. Crazy
Thanks for adding that up for us, I don't think we woulda ever figured out two plus two = four.
@@aaronyeomans5974 you're welcome
*beat both the guys twice
My God, you're a mathematical genius 😮
Thank you for explaining exactly what they said in the video 🙏🏼
the fact that Usman has 4 wins over Colby and Masvidal is kinda mind boggling when you think of it that way
Ikr! how can someone so cringe beat guys like jorge and colby! lmao it's not a surprise at all the guy is the pfp best fighter in the world right now.
@@5luelight726: When you put in more work you get out more results… That’s all. Lol
@@AlwonDomz I agree, people seem to think it’s a popularity and badass contest
@@5luelight726 Ive been a fan of Usman ever since he only put 30% into one of his wins lol
Promo lovefest.. Usman a fanboi of Colby? he hates Colby...fake lies for more $$ = more doctor monitored PEDs 💉
Usman was spot on with the analysis man
Usman the 🐐 in that division
@@mariom4143 how many wins before Kamaru has legitimate claim to being the GOAT do you think?
@@the1abstrakt he doesnt even need to fight Khamzat, he should beat luque and Edwards then retire and go down as the best welterweight of all time and let Khamzat start a new age for the WW division.
I used to not like usman, I always knew he was a legit contender but he’s won me over as a fan. He’s beating everybody & not ducking anybody. Super humble, well spoken, family man.. hard to hate him at this point
Shut up loser
He was always like that mate
He started being himself and stopped playing the bad guy persona
@@adrianma2758 he never played a bad guy persona clown. People have different moods, and different faces. sometimes I'm the nicest guy ever. But when it comes to sports I'm as competitive as anyone and will talk trash because I'm confident in what I can do. Most times I back it up.
@@adrianma2758 Usmans been himself since day one. You weirdos just don't like him for underlying reasons. But its not stopping his shine or his time.
Usman took taking the high road to another level lol
Usman is a great fighter and a good dad to his two sons
😆😆
i was thinking "what is he talking about pretty sure he has a daughter" "ahh okay" lmao
🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣
Bahaha cleverrr
Usman finally getting the love and respect he deserves in this comment section. He could've acted a lot less professional here and no one would've blamed him for it
at the same time he has irony when he’s talking nice about them cuz he ktfo both
@@jacobbirdsong5783 one not both Colby got right back up but yeah its cooler that he didn't cause we were all just waiting for him to drop a joke
Usman under ali abdelaziz thats make ufc fans hate him.
well he earned it
facts
Respect goes to Kamaru for showing Class and being humble.. Admitting to being a fan of these two fighters …
Usman has really grown on me after becoming champion. He’s fought everyone people wanted him to and it’s still able to give unbiased commentary
Usman offering that unique analysis only he can offer having beat both guys twice! Great perspective, wonderfully put, we are all excited for this fight
He knows his sons best! ❤❤
Usman is a different breed because if I was given the analyst role and I had wins over Colby and Jorge. I would be going all out 😂. “My 2 sons are fighting”
Pretty sure Izzy said something similar with Costa vs. Vettori lol
Yeah, Colby would be talking like that, all disrespectful of the fighters and their families
Lmao i would not be taking the high road.. usman should've said something like "if you wanna tell the story how I beat both guys, you better tell it twice"
🤣
But they are his children tho
Yeah I think Usman has a job for life as an MMA analyzer / commentary person.
Usman has really made me a fan through his fighting and his etiquette outside the Octagon. All class.
"One of em was gonna baptize me"
Karmaru p4p best commentary on roster
That was brilliant
Rare funny comment from kamaru
Must be hard for a father to watch both his sons fight each other in a grudge match
Man🤣🤣
Hahaha
@Matthew Rendenm Colby tapped as well if you really want to take it there
🤣
@Matthew Rendenm lmfao you don’t have any friends if you think this is entertaining
Usman legitimately seems so excited, it’s very endearing
His daughter really made him want to see his sons fight. How poetic.
Respect to Usman for being humble.
easy to be humble when you're on top
@@Sal3600 you mean easy to be arrogant when on top?
Being humble with no pride is worth it
What if he was arrogant? You guys are now goggling his nobs because he paid little compliment to your boy.
he seems like a level-headed guy, thats why he's the best for so long, hes not delusional. Kind of like GSP, but black..
I like how he was being respectful!!
This gave me extra love for Kamaru. Reign King 👑! He just seems like a good guy.. also, I feel like that was some great insight right at the end that we could only have gotten from a guy who's fought both of them
I love it when a father supports both of his children, my respect and kudos to Kamaru Usman!
Usman was perfect in this segment
Kamaru wants to watch his sons at work
Take away the roids and Usman sucks

Really awesome to see Rashad Evans here, would love to hear him commentate a fight as well! He’s a legend
Usman is 100% correct on his take Colby is definitely gonna be surprised on how good Jorge can stop takedown and Jorge is gonna be surprised about Colby's striking
They used to be training partners for years so it wouldn't be that surprising
@@jakehunter1507 Both have improved tremendously in their skills long after being apart. That's the point.
@@jakehunter1507 They haven't trained together in 3 years, and in sparring the wrestling is at 100% but the striking is not. They basically do not know each other at this point. It will be fresh.
Usman did a good job of being nice, because all Masvidal did was not die on short notice the first fight, then literally get baptized in the 2nd fight 🤣 Usman knows Colby is mopping this up easy
Mma math doesn’t work
Colby doesn’t have a good win
@@bj231217 neither does masvidal
@@kaladinstormblessed765 Daren till is a better win than any in colby’s career

Lol I’m too petty to be that professional like Usman 😂 respect!
that means you have never beaten your enemies then. he has nothing to be petty for hahaha. beat both dudes TWICE hahahaha. thats four victories and two of them emphatic. I dont think you know the root of pettiness in general lol
@@lowlowseesee true! Pettiness will always be there if you haven't gotten your victory. If there's still something there or the beef hasn't been settled on your end you'll always feel some time of way 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol
@@lowlowseesee Michael Jordan is petty af after defeating his enemies, it’s more so personality
@@themarathoncontinues4211 but Michael is petty about everything, I don't think Michael Jordan is a normal human being. No offense to the guy, he is a basketball GOAT, but a strange human being.
I see Usman as an Analyst easy after UFC. Everything he said was on point and accurate. I think they both improved tremendously.
He also has a nice voice and a pleasant tempo
Love how Kamaru has beaten both these guys after they called him out and Kamaru is still a fan of them both! That's a good humble fighter, to be that good but not have to act as cocky. He shows it in the octagon. Kamaru is awesome
Trueee, real champion.
kamaru usman is the real BMF... i dont know why never gave him that title...
Well just like that usman turned me from a hater of his personality to respecting it .
“one guy was gonna baptize me, the other was gonna put me in a stretcher”😂😂

How is Kamaru Usman not the GOAT? At very least, he’s the greatest of this era.
Because he defended his title against 3 nobodies?

This is the most likable that I've seen Usman. Also I think Usman in in on the shtick with Colby and is helping sell the beef and help them secure the bag, like they did for him 4 times now.
Usman must be so proud to see his 2 sons moving on from past losses 😍

It’s interesting to hear Usman’s take on the fight given he’s been in an actual match twice against these guys. Him saying what he did at the end really makes me even more excited to see how it plays out.
U can see how much respect usman has for rashad everytime he spoke he was so attentive to what he was saying
Usman really destroyed these guys, he is rooting for both, cuz he doesn’t fear them.
THIS.
He didn't destroy Colby by any means, fought two close fights one fight being extremely close.
@@joegarrison5911 colby got absolutely destroyed.
I don't know, before the second fight with Colby, Usman said ''Sure I can be friends with Colby, as long as I win'' which proves he was worried.
@Izzo KhanColby got destroyed in the first. Then he got dropped twice in the second. What are you smoking
*Team Masvidal ! let's go ! Love colby too but gamebred for lyf*
Unfortunately for you Colby by 50-43
Cringe casual
lamebred aka street judas aka backstabbing journeyman is getting slept

Gotta love Kumaru giving both of these guys the up most respect after beating both of them twice. What a real competitor
Great content given out by the champ here, unbiased and respectful and not being ignorant to give props to both fighters
FATHER OF THE YEAR award goes to....
Love the ending part he explained it very well so we should all really pay attention to what he said at the end.... Kamaru is very aware he let us know right then and there very interesting cannot wait for this fight
Great commentary I can't wait!
Kamaru really wanted to say: "it's like watching two of my exes fighting over my tip."
2:34 ofcourse his daughter would be excited to watch her siblings go at it
Man Usman has really grown on me during his title reign. This guy is awesome
Seeing Kamaru and Rashad both at the desk is hella dope! Two pillars of MMA greatness
Usman is a natural on the camera, love it.

The way Kamaru turned away when shorty said masvidal was the bmf lmaooo
Kamarus reporting was fantastic. Impressed with how humble and unbiased he was.
Come on, how could you not love Usman now?
You've got to remember when they were living and training together they were different weights, jorge was 155 back then chaels already touched on this plus his takedown defence and ground game overall has improved a lot since then, demian maia said masvidal has some of the best jui jitsu he'd fought against and wasn't able to submit him
He fought at 155 but he always was around the 175 lbs area
Good point and even though he lost 1st Usman fight, he was able to defend most of his takedowns despite how tired he was. That kind of grappling isn’t average
@@westlinnstreets2349 yeah but he was younger his body was still growing and cutting that much weight would be easier then not possible now it wouldn't surprise me if he walked around at 200+ibs nowdays
The fact that Chael said it already let's you know that it is not true.
Masvidal already had multiple camps at 170 while training with Colby. Obviously Chael does not do his research, he does not have to, there are people believing him anyway without him having to do the work.
@@somdutroy looking back weren't tim means and Michael chiesa like his first 2 welterweight fights back in 2013 around the time Colby was living with him? I guess your right
Kamaru is so respectful, knowledgeable and a pleasure to listen to
Usman last words is too emotional💔❤
What a great father
Dominic Cruz needs analysis lessons from Kamaru Usman 😂
Usman at the analysts desk - GREAT LOOK. want to hear his thoughts. positive man.
I got goosebumps to see how happy Usman gets when speaking about the fight
Usman spitting facts at the end. Taking Masvidal down in sparring vs Taking Masvidal down in a real fight is a totally different story. In the forst situation, Masvidal is just trying to learn to defend.
4:26 great analysis by Usman. Both fighters have grown and this not training. This fight is going to be a banger for sure!
Usman got aggressive with that pen gesturing lol
This was a great breakdown! Thanks!
Usman seems like a genuine and humble guy.
Bro. Kamaru is one of those men who’s so humble and soft spoken…but can flip that switch in a heartbeat. That’s why he’s such a great Champion for the sport of MMA. Much, much respect. 🙌🏻
He beat both of them twice and still he respects them so much.... as once a living legend said MMA is all about respect 🦅👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
He did nothing to promote the fight. It was all Colby. Usman just went to his gym.
@@jacksonk.fozzbodie213 Colby was cringe
Good non biased commentary for a change. Props to all 3.
Either way, I just hope this fight makes it into the later rounds.
I love usman talking on this, very good analysis in short time of this fight.
Usman literally running laps around the best the welterweight has to offer.
Khamzat chimaev is gonna change all that
Usman so intelligent and well spoken, showing class and grace when speaking of both fighters whom he had tense battles with and beat as well as being such a great athlete/fighter. He’s an impressive guy
Usman is a gentleman. Super humble here. You think he would have hatred for both fighters but in fact showed nothing but respect and admiration. The true sign of a legit champion. Never really cared for him until I saw this interview. A totally new perspective on this man.
Love how humble the champ is when he’s talking about guys he beat up .
Usman from most disliked fighter to one of the best most liked welterweight champions ever.. crazy how unpredictable the ufc is lol
He was not the most disliked ...he had more people who loved him on some continents than the whole Colby & Masvidal mob put together!!🥴
If i could define the word Champion, it would be Kamaru Usman.
He carries himself to gold tier in n out of the cage
Much love from Albuquerque New Mexico!
ive noticed that it dont matter what the conversation is with usman.. somehow it always comes back to his daughter... I appreciate that.. i never wss a big usman fan. But his last 2-3 fights made me one
Man I’m not really Uzman fan but he is truly a humble champion. Got to respect that. Let’s do this Colby
Usman is a cool dude man he doesn't deserve all this hate. I like how he's still resepctful to both these guys. Like even after the Covington fight Usman was willing to put everything in the past and be cool with Covington,.
Kamuru is a beast and he is so cool and humble.
Us man is very well spoken he earned a fan being humble and respecting opponents he’s destroyed.
I like usman. The dude is a good dude even though I did not roots for him in his fight with Colby, since Colby is my favorite fighter. But can’t deny the fact is usman is good fighter.
