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?

Its going to take someone with good standup and great TD defence to beat Usman.
Wonderboy might have a chance, as he did well against woodley but that was 4 years ago. So probably someone similar to him
IM thinking we might have to wait a while to see who comes up in the ranks because the top guys are either too old or they've already been beat.
Leon Edwards TD def isn't good enough i think
I guess some unknowns would be Chimaev and Rakhmonov but we haven't seen them against top level competition

True, in "middle edges", you are right man!
I think Leo Edwards has a very good chance!
And also the fact that Africa is a huge continent with a large population!

It’s only a matter of sweet ole time to run it’s toll, that’s all.
Who that is, guess we’ll all see when it happens.
Until then I dunno.
