Prime Usman was crazy
That’s not prime Usman lil bro
@@JRF1004
I know
Just wanted to say it tho
@@JRF1004He was on an 8 fight win streak at the time and 29 years old. He was in his prime during this fight.
@JRF1004 other than his awkward stand up. Usman would rather be there bc his knees worked :[
@@JRF1004 yes it was, he was on a streak and did you even watch this fight?
Imagine how confident and in the zone you have to be to throw a double punch
well that was then
@@bernardlartims9114bro what?
No it’s just werid kinda non technical striking that occasionally shows up in MMA, like khabibs jumping hammer fist, wrestlers do things like that sometimes.
I imagine he was roid confident
@@browhatyt1285He said well that was then.
*'Write that down, write that down'* - Izzy
😂😂😂😂
Back on the attack
🤣🤣🤣
except Strickland is way better now, this was what 2017?
@@TheWorldisaLIE2 I think jokes have been around for even longer than that.
Bro tried to goro side punch him 😂😂😂
Edit: oh yeah that 3.3k likes looking spicy
😂😂😂 that's a good one
Goro shows no mercy
Goro? You good foo? Cuz that's the kungla lo move . Mortal kombat shaolin monks. That's litterly one of his main moves.

He was actually trying to fusion dance with him

Sean was shocked lol
Literally shocked... Usman threw that defibiliator shot at him 😂
@@dummy999 thats the shot you hit your dead realative with in the casket. Wake up, i know you aint really dead
@@dummy999😂😂
People really forgot what a monster Usman is🤦🏽♂️
fr some of these comments out of pocket
I think he forgot too
No they haven’t lol
People never gave him the credit he deserved even in his prime
I'm waiting to see someone do a Liu Kang Bicycle Kick
I’m him remember this comment bro 😁
The flying kick is cooler.
that hang time gonna be crazy but unfortunately gravity won't give you permission to stay in the air that long unless you're in space 😂😅
It's Liu not Lui😅
I think best bet is to aim for the collar bone and traps and not the head. Like if ur strong enough to keep urself horizontal off slamming the bottom of ur foot on an opponent. Hitting the head seems like it’d screw you. Vs tryna bounce off the shoulders. Just gotta work a karate kid finisher in there ig
Usman at 60%
Sean before he was good
DOMINATED HIM😂😂
@@TejayListersame thing happens today. Counter boxer vs cardio king wrestler who went like 23-0?? Sean being a bad match for Izzy means nothing for everyone else

@@stoneroses8818 on point lol
Haduuuuuuken!
@@mattdoliver1984was looking for this comment 😅
You can visibly see how off guard that caught Sean 😂
I like it. Double punch, double the power.
Half the power more gaurenteed hit, no torque
@@Ginge375he is joking mate
@cheerz6930 look, there is a reason the great Dhalsim uses the same technique. It doubles the power.
@@robertc6850it reminds me of that movies real steel when that fighting bot hit a double uppercut
I'm pretty sure this was also used in the first Kickboxer movie with Jean-Claude Van Damme
Man the amount of karate every high level champ sneaks into their game is wild. Never thought I’d see this kinda punch done in a ring 😅
You can’t call it karate though remember if it’s a karate technique they just came up with it themselves
Fundamentally I'd say the double punch is flawed tho, there's a reason you don't see it used often it means you can't pivot or get any hip rotation like you can on your jab or cross.
@@_konahrik_ practicing the double punch doesn’t usually lead to someone using the double punch, but it helps them develop good structure for pushing someone back, even at close range. In this case I think Usman just used it to keep tagging the opponent because he sensed him getting tired, so it worked for that. Definitely not as much power/follow through available, and you have no hand left to guard so you better time it right.
@@_konahrik_ everyone said spinning attacks suck but now they're a staple. time and place
@@manfrombritain6816 That's completely different, you can get power and torque with spinning attacks double punches are arm punches which means the force of the impact isn't generated by a kinetic chain of energy from all parts of your body working in tandem with each other.
This fight is the origin story on why Sean doesn’t grapple anymore
Usman is genuinely such a force in mma, amazing skill set amazing physicality amazing cardio and pretty good chin
Probably confused tf outta sean😂
Double punch was crazy, that rattled Sean's mind, it was over after that
Strickland has always been a good fighter. All good fighters lose somewhere along the road. I bet winning that belt has helped him realize he can handle whatever comes his way now. Adds so much more confidence having it.
well this was also with cutting an extra 15lb so that takes a toll on the body. He realized since then that he's better for 185.
@@colecampbell1906i think he decided to move up cause he had a motorcycle accident
@@uchuynguyen4763 that was part of it, but the weight cut was just tough in general and his body felt better at 185
No he's never been a good fighter pure basic nothing special
You don't get title shots by not being good
Caught him clean too 😂
It was actually a smart way to upset seans good guard
Prime Usman was an absolute animal, just a great pressure fighter with insane pace and cardio, and people had to back up because if they moved forward he would take them down(unless its someone that can wrestle like Colby)and when he was moving forward he had pretty accurate boxing with long reach and long straight shots
I'm pretty sure it's much.easier to get a😢 takedown when your oppenelt is on there back foot
@@607shon yeah to a degree that's true but I'm talking about constant pressure, like how someone like Oliveira fights, and you know what he couldn't pressure Makhachev too much? because if he gets too close he'd get taken down, I think if it was easy more people would do it to Usman
Usman: Hadoken
Thats the only way you can get through d'sean's impeccable defense.
Everyone was saying Adesanya wasn't himself but he wasn't allowed to be himself. Awesome performance from Strickland.
He did no damage…like what happened?!
You say that like Izzy and Alex don't have identical styles? Izzy has already pieced up forward striking Punchers like Strickland (Costa was even more dangerous).
@@infiniterer287Costa had one good win against yoel and has no other significant thing in his career
And the yoel fight was close 😂
@@infiniterer287they don’t have identical styles at all, go through all their kickboxing and mma footage and their styles are very different. The tactics they use and tendencies are all massively different
@@letmegetuhhh3959 No they're not. In MMA their styles are very similar. in kickboxing you can nitpick the differences for sure though.
Their entries are very similar, they both like to play the outside, they depend heavily on leg Kicks for control, they both depend on hooks for KOs etc. In fact, Izzy is arguably an evolution on the style, Considering his superior footwork and precision to Alex.
Usman wasn't loose he was tense asf
Kamaru Usman would 100% beat Sean Strickland TODAY at 185lbs. It wouldnt even be close
Bro threw a "hadoken" at him😂
He should be fined for that double punch
😂😂😂
Bro what😭
Whould i count this funny?
In boxing yes
Why are spinning back fists illegal in boxing?
Usman watched Kung Fu Panda for this fight.
Imagine Strickland actually beating him in the rematch. With how unpredictable this sport is, nothing shocks me anymore
Usman is past his prime now so he could maybe do it
But prime Usman is just a different beast
at middleweight usman wouldn’t have a chance
@callen8454
Only past prime Usman
prime usman beats prime strickland at any weight class, now it's a different story though
6 years later with Strickland being in his Prime, and Marty on his way out, it's possible.
OG Street Fighter moves
Prime usman beats prime Strickland
not at middleweight
@@corvoattano7430Arguably. I’d pick him I think
@@certifiedjefe5151 then ur goofy
Who ever even debated this they been fighting in a different weight class for awhile now, some people perform better in a higher weight class due to their natural body strength. Weight cutting is a nasty thing literally can be a deciding factor in a fight.
who is prime usman? explain. is it from breakin colbys jaw to his masvidal ko? the 1st masvidal fight was boring lmfao and that "prime" is mid lmfao
Fact that they both landed is crazy
My man Usman just threw the hadoken. How did I miss this?
Strickland fought totally different at that time. He was backing up. He presses forward now clearly..
He fought totally different because he was fighting Usman so he couldn't press forward.
@@iiDefied yeah but he’s way better now. His defense & everything so it would be a totally different fight with this version of Sean.
@@Fitkid7672no it wouldn’t lol
@@Marcus-gx4jr yes, yes, and yes. It would be totally different. Plus Strickland is a very good wrestler now. He wasn’t back then.
Don’t forget he was weight drained cutting down to 170 back then
That’s just how you act when you’re cutting a ton of weight n avoiding takedowns from one of the best wrestlers in ufc 😂
Usman was tryna take his head off
Bill burrs wife invented that move. The defibrillator.
That must have been a 10-8 round for Usman
That was 20-8 for the double punch
Izzy moves to 205. Kamaru comes up to rematch Strickland?
Izzy didnt even weigh 205 for the Jan fight lol. He's too skinny for LHW
Usman is old now
@@iChristiannn When I say “move” I mean actually move. Add weight, build mass. Literally move up.
@@Fitkid7672 He is older. But he has a win over Sean and the opportunity to be a double champ and be in big fights is still nice. Idk if he beats Strickland this time, but it’s a fun fight nonetheless.
@@CptFoot. I think his reign is done because he couldn’t get past edwards. Izzy is a better striker than edwards & Sean dominated him. Usman won’t be able to be effective against Sean at this point. Edwards is more well rounded but he didn’t have to use his wrestling. Plus with Sean being naturally heavier than usman he won’t be able to just take him down & hold him down..
I have always been super impressed at Strickland going the distance against Usman. That was a well rounded beating.
Bro tried to fusion with him
Dhalsim from strret fighter
Sean dominates usman now
Now that Sean is in his prime and usman is out of his prime yes
@@thomaselkingtoni mean, prime vs prime in 85 sean still beats him
@@jevvsmasherinsane glazing
@@connieworroll368 sure sayin sum guy is better than the other one is glazing
@@jevvsmasher😐bruh wat😂
"You see, Ivan, when you punch using two hands you send two times the power. It's mathematics."
forgot this fight happened lol. Now sean would Rock his world
Why?
@@twistedeternitycuz he’s improved
@@matthewsimpson5621
Yeah but Usman in his prime still ragdolls him while Kamaru is way past his prime
Prime vs Prime
Usman still ragdolls him
@@STiergoofballat middleweight prime usman doesn’t stand a chance against sean
Hit him with the literal double jab💀
Man learned that from those VHS kung-fu movies LOL.
Strickland also looks bigger than Usman here when you are so great ppl always comes with the words "weight bully"
Usman would have dethroned Adesanya if he chose
He wouldnt have beaten whittaker
Nah man you can't say it that confidently. How do we know he can deal with the range and leg kicks. Come on now, he's shown he can be knocked out by a head kick. You don't think Adesanya is capable of doing that same setup. Not only that but he definitely kicks harder than Leon. Just because he beat Strickland doesn't mean he'd beat Israel.
lmfao u say that but he was dropped by a jab from burns. please shut your mouth
Strickland is better at middleweight than what he was at welter
Strickland mauling him on a rematch
Lol nah
You mean current no knee Usman? Maybe, probably not
This sport is so unpredictable at this point, nothing surprises me
for those who think usman can beat him now are scrubs lmfao Izzy would dog walk Kamaru and you just seen sean kill izzy
Styles make fights and usmans style beats Stricklands
Izzy watching this "mmmm double punch ok"
Bro was watching sean omalley tutorials
Usman would get KO'd in a rematch
Stop it
Strickland got walked down and manhandled by Usman cope
When does Strickland ever KO anybody? 😂 if this fight actually happened today at 185 I think it’s a coin flip who wins. but if prime usman like the one who flatlined masvidal moved up to fight current Sean I think he would win for sure.
Thank God we don't have to listen to Usman tell campfire stories anymore
Welterweight division is completely dead since Kamaru Usman had lost the title though
@@George18798 cuz Leon’s ducking Colby.
@@Skipjj Maybe. I don't know about it, but I am sure UFC would like to have a Colby Covington as a champion. Kamaru Usman is the best champion in division history after George St Pierre and Matt Hughes, while I have got nothing against Leon Edwards, division just feels so lifeless now, in my opinion so far the worst champion except Matt Serra
@@Skipjjand Colby is ducking the other top 5
@@George18798 the fight finally got made🙏
Hit him with the Dhalism! 😂😂
Honestly good on him for this I rate when some fighters consider safe or greats do daft stuff shows even they are having fun
Sean’s completely different now… confident take down defense and forward pressure… something clicked after Cannonier and Alex losses
Them Lame defense is not going to stop him from getting takedown by the wolf
He reinvented the Superman punch.
Mans did the diddy kong side tilt in a real fight 💀
The CEO of EPO.
Bro pulled a double whammy
That was a punch like blanka from street fighter games 😂
Something out of Streets of Rage
Rod: “Ultimate Punch!”
Yes! I was looking for this comment 😂
He threw that like Andy Sandberg in Hot Rod!
That’s the move Batman pulled on joker in the dark knight 😂. Literally tho lmao
That old Emanuel Augustus technique 😂
so this is why Sean is so experienced he’s fought a bunch of champions at this point and has done well against all of them except Alex pereira
That Jean Claude Van Damme punch!
Usman swinging here like foooooook
Like a street fighter move
I would've yelled Hadouken like Ryu from street fighter while throwing the double punch.
He said all i need to do is connect.
Bro said ⬇️↘️➡️👊🏼
Strickland striking skills has evolve so much. He was a complete different fighter against Izzy
Usman def played mortal kombat...
Bro tried flying like a superman on seans face
When you can't decide which punch you want to throw so you just throw both
That some street fighter Dalsim move😂
I’ve never seen that before, that was awesome and creative
Bro just wanted to fuse like dragon ball
That Yoga punch😂
Straight up Batman punch
Usman striking always looks so labored
him "just being so lose in there right now" that he double fist
Bro gave him the old “double fist punch” Spock style 😭
He tried to DBZ fusion with Strickland, sadly Strickland wasn’t up for it. Can you imagine the outcome of that combination ??💀
He hit the goku punch fr
New mythical fighter unlocked
Dude was trying to do the Atom.
Sean at this point was not sparring as much as he is today. Now he'll be pressuring and walking towards people, confidently
I remember training woth usman back then. Man was the dude hungry. First wrestling oractice we had he was completely even with me. Noticed he has slowed down quite a bit though and i temd to win all the grappling exchanges.
The rematch would be interesting at middleweight, if usman stepped in and fought the winner of costa vs khamzat for the title, i think Strickland would win this time around, usmans old cobblestone wobblestone knees are failing him
Ngl this is the only opposing style where its kinda effective 😂🤭
Bro said fck it, one of these gotta land
Bro really pulled out the Yama-zuki. That’s wild
Usman thought he was playing video games for a second😂
