A win over a 37-yo WW with broken knees counts for nothing

[BrockLesnarsTurtleBack]

Khamzat still has no good wins in MMA even if he beats Usman, the guy is an old washed-up broken down Welterweight who tore his knee in the open work-out.

Nobody takes this win seriously in the MW division even if Khamzat pulls it off. Guy's only elite win in MMA is a LW that he scraped a tight decision from.

Usman has had bad knees for years. He's one fight out from being pound for pound number one. It may mean nothing to you but I doubt many people will agree with such a foolish thought.

 

[Megatronlee]

He won’t beat us man

 

[DarthChen731]

"Washed up" was literally the champion on a near-record win streak just over a year ago gtfo

 

[Spam On Rye]

Hear hear!

 

[Trabaho]

He beat Gilbert and Holland. Usman was champ with those knees. They were bad before. At this point it's a good win. It's not as good as when Colby fought Usman and lost, but that's still a dangerous Usman. I heard about his knees years ago. He fights with them being bummy.

 

[Siver!]

Usman didn't look anywhere near as good in that second Edwards fight, so there's a chance he really has dropped off.

But one mediocre performance doesn't mean he's finished lmao

TS has a bad case of hateritis

What's your opinion on Weidman beating a 38 old Anderson Silva, then ?

 

[MEAN357]

Oh my God the cope is already in full force lol

 

[Gabe]

Damn the excuses are already prematurely coming out

 

[moosaev]

Usman did not look confident in that presser, in fact he looked like a defeated man already.

 

[jx820]

I'm going to side with TS here. I get why Usman was a big fight to make, but he has no meaningful wins at MW, hasn't won a fight in just shy of 2 years, he's on a skid, and he's getting old. His credentials are that he WAS in the semi-recent past a great champ, he has a win over the current MW champ, and he's got a big name.

None of that is to say Usman can't win or Usman isn't an interesting match up, but beating a guy in a slump at a lower weight class doesn't really mean anything for MW.

I love Usman but we're all pretending this is a meaningful MW match up. Cannonier was the fight that would have told us where Chimaev stands in the division.

 

[ChimRichalds]

A win over Usman is still a great win. TS is talking like he's on a 5 fight skid or something.

 

[GrantB13]

No good wins? Ok. This thread is a wrap.

That's true, but Michael Bisping became champ & defended with a busted eye, and according to GSP haters his win over The Count means nothing because he had a busted eye.
It will be the exact same thing for Chimaev if he wins...

And if Usman wins and gets a title shot vs Strickland out of it, and also wins that one, he will be a paper MW champ for "poaching the belt" from the weakest MW champ since Dave Menne.
"Where was Usman when Izzy was champ, uh??"

Who cares what some nerds say

 

[Tweak896]

Here we go with the bullshit. Nothing Khamzat does counts. Watch he could win the belt against Strickland after and people will say it doesn't count because he was a "paper champ" and not dominant like Izzy. Just crazy how everyone discounts guys like Jones, Islam, Khamzat because there is some haters here.

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

Neither fighter was ever worth a damn! Throw em on the prelims!

so what does it mean when Usman wins, which he will be decision?
