  • The fight is gonna be crazy ! Can’t wait
  • Islam is P4P #1 tho
  • Most complete fighter in ufc history? Wtf are you saying? Jonny Bones? GSP? GSP? Demetrious Johnson….? Please stop say bullshit! Usman is a true legend, but you can’t say he is the best ever and P4P n.1
  • He will sleep again
  • Volkanovski is more complete. That’s just a fact.
  • Nah, Usman needs to move over, he has lost “Tha juice” , & no one misses his vibe as champion. Next….
  • Yes, he just lost by 1 kick and everybody forgets him. Inshallah he will be champ again in london!

Some fans believe that Islam Makhachev is the real no.1 fighter in the UFC. While other fans have ridiculed Ali Abdelaziz for claiming Kamaru Usman as the most complete fighter. The fans mentioned Georges St-Pierre, Jon Jones, Demetrious Johnson, and Alexander Volkanovski as the probable candidates for the most complete fighter title. Others believe that Usman will lose again and should consider moving on from the championship scene. However, he did find some support, as they said that one KO loss should not undermine his successful UFC career so far.

Kamaru Usman will look to get back to his winning ways at UFC 286 after the unexpected loss in his last outing. Moreover, he will be fighting in enemy territory in his next match. UK’s own, Leon Edwards, will have the 20,000-capacity O2 Arena in London shouting for him throughout. We will have to wait and see what follows.
