Kamaru Usman: Six UFC title fights at White Home? 'I is likely to be asleep'

[ad_1] Kamaru Usman finds the UFC doubtlessly placing on quite a few title fights on the White Home occasion ridiculous.

U.S. President Donald Trump teased that the UFC's deliberate occasion on the South Garden on June 14 can have eight or 9 championship fights. UFC play-by-play commentator Jon Anik thinks we'd see six or seven, however Usman says that's means too many fights for the viewers to devour.

He was slightly important of the thought.

"They're speaking this six or seven title fights, at the start, Henry, pardon my French, however who the f*ck needs to observe seven title fights back-to-back, 5 spherical title fights back-to-back-to-back," Usman mentioned on his "Pound 4 Pound" podcast with Henry Cejudo. "What if the 4 or the 5 or the six in a row are boring? I believe it is a dangerous concept, dangerous concept as a result of to begin with, we need to see contender fights. We need to see guys who're prepared to go danger their lives on the market.

"If you're the champion, your complete purpose is to maintain that, you need to be good, you need to be tactical, you need to strategically retain your title. Champions aren't going on the market like, 'Yeah, we will throw warning to the wind and simply swing for the fences like we're in a bar struggle,' that is not what champions do as a result of that is not what will get you to be a champion. You bought to be smarter than everyone else. This complete notion of, 'Let's put six title fights on there,' I believe that is a foul concept, and actually, I is likely to be asleep by title struggle three, I is likely to be asleep."

Numerous fighters have thrown their names within the hat to compete on the White Home, most notably former two-division champions Conor McGregor and Jon Jones. No fights have been scheduled for the occasion but.
