Usman vs. Burns
Gilbert Burns, SUB, R3
Burns is the better grappler and Usman is better in the clinch, whoever is the better striker will likely win, I think its Burns

Burns is the best. He RAN through Tyron Woodley like Usman never could.

I bet this is gonna be a 3 championship night, probably gonna throw Yan vs Sterling, or maybe even Winner of reyes/jan vs winner of Santos/teixiera depending on how those go. or maybe even Stipe vs Ngannou/Jones, i think you guys get the point

She's not the GOAT

Of women who fight (I know, Freemoney) she is the best (GOAT) with Valentina in second.

and I'm saying that having made this pick years ago

  • UFC 178 · 2014.09.27
  • Cat Zingano · KO/TKO · Round 2


Thought Amanda didn't have the heart for 3 round fights, thought she was a one round fighter. She has proven me wrong.

Amanda Nunes either KO'ed or submitted the 3 biggest stars in women's MMA history when she choked out Miesha Tate to win the UFC Women's Bantamweight title, destroyed Ronda Rousey in her first title defense, KO'ed Holly Holm to retain the Women's Bantamweight title, and then KO'ed Cris Cyborg to win the Women's Featherweight title.  What more proof do you need that she is the unquestionable Women's MMA GOAT?

Don't get why everyone think Burns is gonna win, Burn ain't winning because Welterweight ain't gonna have a exiting champ because beside the 3 year that Lawler and Hendrix were champ, The Belt were held by boring ass GSP, Woodly and Usman, for 10 out of the last 13 years

I don't think he's gonna win. I'm taking usman to smell his crotch for five rounds. Probably even gonna put money on it. Which means burns will definitely win.

Usman vs. Burns
Gilbert Burns, DEC
Usman is a great fighter, but Burns impressed me so much recently, it's hard to pick against him. He is very dangerous standing, in the clinch and on the ground, and his cardio looked great against Woodley.

I think they should put Leon Edwards vs Colby Covington on this card. Either to open the main card or to precede the co-main event. It also saves the UFC in the event that something happens to Usman vs Burns so they don't end up in another Masvidal negotiation hell type of scenario.
