As usual Usman managing to be an absolute tool.

Telling Driscuss Du Plessis that being born in Africa and living there his whole life doesn't make him African. In that case he should give up his US Citizenship. 

I really hope Leon knocks this dude out again.

I brought that up a few pages back. I'd love to see those 2 fight if Usman decides to move up to MW.

I mean to be fair, DDP knew exactly what he was doing. Theres no way he didn't think that wasn't gonna get under some fighters skin. I actually thought Usman handled it pretty well but ultimately he didn't really mince words and said "yeah but you're white so you're obviously wrong". 

I'm all about some fun rivalries and **** talking but I'd definitely prefer if it didn't carry heavy racial/political connotations. 

As fun a fight as that would be I feel like the UFC should probably avoid faning those flames like the plague.

Completely agree with you mate, Usman is a racist fool and Leon is going to KO him, probably rd 3 if not earlier

Edwards vs. Usman III
Leon Edwards, SUB, R1
Yes, maybe I'm crazy:) But the first round in their previous fight doesn't get out of my head. Earlier I thought that Leon would win the third fight by decision. But now I think that the perfect game plan for Edwards in this fight - to submit Kamaru, because Usman's team expects a problems in striking only. And Leon definitely can do it

Idk if you agree with me at all because I didn't say Usman is racist. I think its pretty clear hes not racist but obviously has some anti-colonial opinions, which as a person I completely understand.

I'm not gonna comment further then that cause this will get too political and were here to talk about fights. 

EDIT: Unless you're agreeing with my previous posts where I think Usman gets finished again, than yes were on the same page.

Ha funny hot take from Usman, the thing is, what he said, it can go both ways....

Its more complicated for biracial people, or people torn from many cloths... I heard many of them can have identity issues sometimes, but some are super humans like these 2 half Thai half Dutch brothers below. I have had some identity issues myself I am multi-ethnic

LAST WARNING

Predictions: 7 of 15 Winners, 2 Perfect, 455 Points   |   Tied for 3650th

LAST WARNING : Leon Edwards is a bum, he is going to get embarrased in front of the british crowd. That KO was a fluke 0.01% er. I am trying to save your life, if you have anything on Leon cash it out, just trying to help.

LAST WARNING: Why do you think Santos beats Leon though? have you seen Santos fight? Not really impressed by him or think he's that much of a threat to someone at Lerone's level no?

The thing is, I'm glad that Usman called out that comment from DDP because it was intentionally insensitive.

But the way he phrased it is dumb and just objectively incorrect 😂 so I can't be on his side either.

I would elaborate more but I agree with foppa, I don't want to get political.
