Been thinking about MMA a lot during the quarantine, and I got to thinking about Kamaru Usman. I was wondering, who can beat him? Strikers like Masvidal and Edwards would more than likely get grapple-******, BJJ practitioners like RDA and Maia were handled easily, whats it gonna take to beat him? The only people I can see beating him are Colby and Gilbert Burns. Gilbert could do it because he is a consummate grappler with very good stand-up which may be a winning combo against Usman.
Who do you guys think might beat him?

Maybe somebody new
Geoff Neal has been on a good run but we haven’t seen him against anyone in the top 10

Another paper champ..
And he outlasted and beat colby who I gave a slight edge too, but neither are finishers.
That being said "Anyone" with decent striking at 170 can beat him Ken Vs Kimo or Jorge Vs Ben for the newbs.
Every fight starts standing I believe Jon would beat him in a dull grapple off but hes getting old.
Lima is an excellent fantasy pick has power and plenty of defense and offense in grappling.
Personally Id like to see my boy robbie explode him but hes been robbed few times and out of the mix for tops.
Leon is ok he could do it but the problem is Usman is kinda a little low rent JJones he rises to opposition.
So a lesser known and less documented foe will be his undoing unless ive missed something he wont last.
Or hey maybe GSP get his IBS under control and splats him and reretires :>.
