Usman was top tier on this show. More of him please
No lie I've never seen an episode of this show and I'm a huge DC fan. I watch his personal channel. I just don't know who RC is. I think he's an NFL dude. I don't like watching shows that don't have mma analysts or fighters.
@@ramonbriones4487 RC is fanned out, kamaru was a fresh of breath air
Kamaru is such a thoughtful analyst and speaker. The respect he pays Colby is awesome.
Real recognize real
What about the respect for the man that defeated him twice?
@@chrisbreezy2676leon scott got dominated for 24 and half minutes until a lucky kick. and then usman got robbed just like colby got robbed in second usman fight. usman knows
In hindsight Colby may have been mean to Marty fake newsman... But he made him so much money!
@@beaualoevvthe mental gymnastics required to score the last Usman-Edwards fight for Usman 😂 Wow.
Kamaru did an awesome job with showcasing a different perceptive from an fighter pov. Very deep and in-depth
perspective
Usman is such a pathetic loser he sucks
*Usman* : Makes factual and solid points about the match-up *DC* : B-but Leon is MOTIVATED !!
The interrupting was annoying af
It's pathetic that DC desperately wants Kumaru to say Leon is the favourite to win! You can see Usman is a lil' bit annoyed at times but stays professional throughout.
Usman clearly is picking Colby to take this.
Ur a colby fan right.. thats why u feel that. In reality Usman has not got over his loss over edwards n hates him more then colby.
@nichrossi ... Watch the entire interview, Usman said the harder fight for him was Colby, he said Colby fought him neck & neck, but there was never a time in the Edwards fight where he felt he couldn't impose his will.
Kamaru has grown on me over the years. A true champion, through and through. May he go from strength to strength. 🤘♥️
He got more likable because he got humbled
@fluzzerr your so right bro. He finally matured
Agreed. He’s at the end of his career so I’d guess he’s been coached on how to give likable analysis and set himself up for post fighting. He did good
He is done and he did it to himself...he got cocky n mouthy...now washed up....never be better than GSP.
@@fluzzerrhumbled? When you’re a dominant champ and lose that’s not being humbled…it’s a loss it happens…he’s always been humble
I love how Usman always shows respect to Colby even after all the trash talk
Usman knows its ONLY Business for Colby, ONLY about the 💰💰💰🤑 !!! Colby said it himself ... It's just to sell the Fights !!! It's ALL FAKE !!! 😂
He knows Colby’s shtick and Colby told him after the rematch that he’s tryna sell a fight good on Usman for not taking it to heart
It’s because he knows that Covington is going to win. He knows he had to work so much harder against him and he knows he got hurt a lot worse against Covington overall. He got bruised he got bloodied against Colby with striking. Leon striking did not damage usman at all. Other than that kick there was not a mark on him in three fights. Covington hurt Usman so much in just two fights with striking. He also knows in the third fight, he could not use his pressure/wrestling because his knees were gone.
@@youtubeconnollyfamily No,he doesnt know. He said,its a question which Colby will show up. And i agree with him. My thoughts are ,rusty Colby will show up.
I think Usman just knows they got an incredible rivalry that has been profitable. They are business partners forever in theory.
Kamaru we still love you champ!! Thanks for being so honest and unbiased. Appreciate the honesty!!
He's not the champ and no we don't love him.
@@user-xi2qw7mk3vyou are a nobody and yes, we love him.
Usman is fantastic on tv. Keep up the great work
boooring Usman 100%
Kamaru is a legend in every aspect of
@@user-xi2qw7mk3vi like him now that hes not champ. Wierd
Marty washed
When he's himself, he super cool and chill.
Usman is such a class giving props to both Colby and Leon. Miss him being the active dominant champion that he was. Plus his camera and set up is better than DC lol
also I thought we won the 3rd Leon fight & the Khamzat fight. It's so sad to see close decisions putting a nail in the coffin of so many former champions
@@daousdavarelax his career isn’t over
3rd Leon fight wasn't even close @@daousdava
Very good analysis by Kamaru. (The only dude who fought Colby and Leon a total of 5 times)
Unfortunately, he doesn't remember one of his fights w Leon.
You can tell the hate in his voice towards Leon. He was so sure that Leon would gas out in their third fight so now he wants Colby to win so bad so he somehow use that to as a boost of confidence. He knows he got beat in their third fight couldn’t do nothing with Leon, Leon is a way better striker and grappler.
@@therstenhe dominated Leon until that fluky leg kick let’s be real. You a casual , go watch golf
3-2, who did he fight 3 times? Shouldn't it be 2-2?
He fought Leon in like 2017 or something
When is he gonna have jon jones on the show?
You are asking the impossible
What you ask is impossible. Would be cool though
It's like asking Colby and Jorge to make a podcast together 😅
I believe they got him scheduled for Nevruary of 2024
I guarantee Jones will be on this show next yr
Usman is the morpheus of the welterweight division.
You racist.
He just needs the sunglasses
I hope we can see Usman and Colby be friends in the future like Chael and Anderson are now
Usman was brilliant here. Hope he continues down this road
10 years from now,Usman and Colby are best friends. Mark my words
Very much an Anderson and Chael situation, I agree.
Facts
I 1000 percent believe they are already friends since their last fight. The way Usman compliments Colby always, Colby saying Usman had a great career, at the end of their 2nd fight Colby said to Usman:"Its all love brother, only respect. I only do that to make us as much money as possible. You are a great fighter". Something like that just look the clip on youtube up
Why wouldn’t they be? They competed against each other and had the opportunity to put on great fights. All the trash talk from Colby’s side is purely for the business to sale more fights. Usman knows Colby is a great dude when he’s not playing a character.
they respect each other so much and you can see it when they talk about the 10 rounds they shared, Colby said some nice words today on press conference
Great takes and insightful. Usman said it.... He was fighting neck to neck with Covington and had to find a way to outclass him by the end, while he felt he was dominating more in the Edwards fights.
And yet lost to leon twice🤣
i like usman but that couldn’t be further from the truth in their third fight. leon pretty clearly won that fight
Idk how dc can argue against a guy that fought both. I guess it’s a show, so they have to get in a disagreement
@@nothingwsthesamehuhhh ?? The 3rd fight leon won 3 rounds loool it was really closeee
@@nothingwsthesameNah it was close youre high
I used to find Usman so cheesy but he continues to grow on me. He seems a changed person. Wish him all the best tbh 🙏🏾
cheesy to me is Izzy
Hes speakin highly of your daddy Colby thats why. Leon knocks him out
@@ilijeganu273ur community has 70% single mother hood rate. U dont even have a daddy
@@nyteowl8069 fair. Very fair lol.
@@ilijeganu273 my father died when I was 14 years old, thank you very much. Also, I’m not white, unlike dear Colby. However, I went to school 1984 - 1991 in Birmingham, England and my mother still lives outside the city. I’m a Leon fan. He also seems like a decent human being, perhaps unlike you 🙏🏾
Kamaru should be the co-host tbh
Marty Truenewsman when he said colby Covington is the real one
Hahaha I like how you switched it to truenewsman😂😂
I mean colby did make him a lot of money
They both highly respect each other as competitors, you can see it in their fights.
Man I want Usman to have his own show. Dude is super cool and has great analysis 👌🏻
Wow Usman kept it more real then ever. Putting the ego aside for this great take on Colby and Leon. His analysis was on point.
Usman standing up Colby Covington is hilarious and I’m loving it 🥰
Kamaru has the best smile. I'm glad too see him in good spirits and in his analyst role 😊
I think many of us have forgotten what Kumaru achieved in past few year’s. Keeping pound for pound status that long and knocking everyone in his division for few years guys show some respect for this legend. Kumaru for me you are the real champ !!!
Kamaru def. needs to be an analyst after he is done with the sport, so articulate and so smart!
This was awesome. Kamaru provided so much more insight than RC.
Usman is in his priest era fr
Usman with some great analysis. Unbiased and spoken like only a true fighter can.
Usman is still the man 🔥🤟🏼
His knees gave out before rest of his body. Still has an iron chin
He’s really not … used to be
@@QuintonMoore-xg3qvhis khamzat fight showed he still got it.
@@IOffendthosewhohatereality. huh ? Lmao he lost , & if he was still like that why he didn’t he beat Leon ?
@@QuintonMoore-xg3qv yea of course he lost but he did good against an upcoming young guy that’s my point.
Usman'a personality came out this show. Great!
Kamaru wants Colby to win so he can get his belt back
I love how much respect Usman has for Colby despite their differences Despite the results, Colby gave Usman a way harder time than Leon did and that's facts
I guess
Nobody is more qualified to analyze to Colby-Leon fight than Usman
The fights with Colby aged him. They were brutal.
It's becuase colby is all most his equal. He respects it.
Meh. We'll see soon enough. Rooting for Edwards to knock Covington into the netherworld.
I really enjoyed this Episode please bring usman more
Bruh Usman is the perfect co-host when RC gone, shits hilarious
I see kamaru..i tune in. Kamaru's knees robbed us of 2 more years of dominance..
I love the idea of a show with DC and Kamaru in the future. It’s gold each time they’re on with each other
DC stops hating Colby
Bring Marty on commentary just for the main event
His names kamaru. It’s a shame that he felt the need to switch his name up when he was young to try and fit in. Put some respect on his name. Marty is a crazy choice of names.
Every now and then I remember Usman slamming Chimaev when he tried to choke him. I was even trying to find clips of it. Anyone else would've got choked the eff out.
Usman’s first loss was to a standing rear naked choke. He wasn’t gonna let it happen again.
Sucks how he did not push for a 5 rounder. He would have won
@@vintagejuggler Ahh, yes. Sure was.
@@rayrice4481could’ve would’ve should’ve go suck ur mum
@@rayrice4481everyone seems to ignore khamzat literally broke his hand in round 1 and didn’t have his right hand. Usman did great, but if that doesn’t happen there’s a good chance the rest of the fight looks like round 1. You think it’s a coincidence that khamzat hardly shot after 1, with the massive success he had in round with the grappling?
Wow kamaru said" if there was no usman colby would be champion" wow i respect it
Never been the biggest fan of Usman but he slowly becoming a favourite for me shows great class and respect ❤️
Didn't know Usman was such a big fan of Colby lol
Usman is an amazing analyst! Love to see people appreciate him
Usman is a G, I can’t believe I used to dislike him
I love real fighters when they talk about fighting. Usman has great fight knowledge loved 🥰 this fight conversation
Great episode, solid analysis by Kamaru Usman, his knowledge of the fight game is unmatched, also a teat to hear from the legend Chris Weidman 👏👏👏
Unlike everyone in the UFC, Usman always gave flowers to Covington. He knows Covington is the next best guy in the division. Even DC is a clown for being too biased. Ridiculous !!
MAGA boy is going to lose. Boo hoo, so sad.
I respect Kamaru''s genuine analysis from being in there with both those guys. Great back and forth with DC. Well done guys.
Dude this was awesome. Great stuff I absolutely love dc & Usman. Much better back & fourth than DC n RC. Honestly I really haven’t felt the hype for the main event this week until i watched this. I feel the focus has been on what Ian Garry’s composure is gonna look like after all the drama.. almost as if the only chance Ian has at lossing his fight will be due to the recent social media backlash he’s received.. it’s good to put the focus on the main event.
I absolutely loveee Usman and his insights on these fights. Kamaru is such a solid dude, he gotta have a spot on this show reserved.
Usman is super likeable. I love the interaction between him and DC.
Easily one of the best UNBIAS interviews of Kamaru Usman ‼️
Sick video. Loved the insight from Kamaru on the Covington vs Edwards fight. Hopefully it’s a banger!🔥
absolutely amazing
One of best DC shows that i saw in months. Great content. Thanx.
Awesome to see Colby and Usman giving each other props
Usman really knows and respects covington as a fighter 😂
Facts ,it crazy how he seems like a colby fan on a low
But not so much Leon Edwards cuz he can't beat him anymore and Leon catalyzed his downfall. I really respect Kamaru he's a legend but you can see he clearly still feeling a way about his losses to Leon.
@@SparkyTakedownHis body was his downfall. Every fight his knees got less and less and life in them.
What’s there to like about Edward? Don’t get me wrong I like Edward….. but he is not the character Colby is and even though Colby lost twice to usman , their fight was way above what usman has with Edward…. And Colby made usman the most money and they don’t hate eachother! Am sure behind the cameras they show eachother love
@@ualisigwe he's a quiet assassin
Usman had some good takes. I wish DC didn’t interrupt him on every single sentence lol great episode though!
Excellent podcast all the way around I just think the intro is a bit corny but it definitely fits I guess lol I could watch this all the way through great job guys thank you! I'm excited for the Chris Weidman documentary. Man 30 surgeries and still holding strong after all those tough moments really gives motivation and inspiration awesome resilience. I'm glad I watched this today. Thank you!
Colby will still be that same guy. He's kept in shape. He wasn't retired. He weighed in as a backup and therefore had a training camp. For Usman to say if Colby is the same guy, 100% he wins. . .that gives me more confidence in my pick - Colby
Plus Colby's long layoff wasn't because of him suffering serious injury, I think it will benefit Colby more than it affects him negatively in the fight. Unless Leon landed headkick, I don't see Leon finishing Colby in any other fashion
I agree an it’s the same thing I’ve been saying.
It’s more about not having that same Rythm of fighting and familiarity of fighting in front of a large crowd.
Kamaru surprised me with his analyst skills. He was unbiased and fair in his reviews
Loved having kamaru on the show he's such a humble insightful and funny bloke. Get him on more!
Yall got one of the worst intro songs ive ever heard man change it
kamarus personality is sometimes cringey but he knows exactly what hes talking about and hes a goat so his input is very insightful and entertaining
You kids always throw that cringe word. I’m not sure why
@@PseudoTertioo it baffles me 😂 like bro what's literally cringe about the dude in this video
I love how respectful usman is about these 2 guys
Nate Diaz wobbled Rocky. Imagine what Colby would do lol
When are we gonna kick RC off the show and have Kamaru on full time ! I like Ryan but Kamaru just has better insight and opinions on the sport, and its always nice seeing former fighters on big shows like these.
The people don’t understand what Kamaru is saying about Colby, Colby drains you and takes you to deep waters and makes guys give up and quit mentally and physically, Usman knows regardless of the win those fights with Colby aged him and probably ruined him.
Colby will beat leon.
0-2 to leons son@@djt8870
Y’all say this like those kind of fights don’t take something out of BOTH fighters. Colby ain’t no spring chicken either
@@562XXXXXthat is true but i think colby doesn't suffer as much because he doesn't cut as much weight
Colby won second fight against usman
Dc and Kamaru had me cracking up at the end LMAO this was epic!🤙
so much better than RC cause RC is a casual Usman is a Great, a funny and humle guy and he knows the game perfectly
Yo this link up is sick! MORE DC & Usman!
2 hours spent fighting both Colby and Leon is crazy
Usman saying its unanimous that people hate Colby across the board shows how delusional he can be.
Delusional is a strong word.
I luv da disagreements. We need more of it, it just feels authentic nd more entertaining.
👍🏼answer for the win by Usman was on point ! Great show guys 🤙🏼
Good job from Usman. He was unbeatable in his prime. But he did a good job on this show. Would like to see him do more of these. Good job Usman. And as always, much luv to DC
Couldn’t have a better person to talk about this fight then USman. He kills it in the octagon and outside of it. A true champion and Legend🙏🏻
Those insights from Kamaru were awesome! Would love to see more of him in the commentary realm of the sport.
The Chemistry between Usman and DC was fun to watch!!
He weaponizes cardio, what a statement!! ✨️
I mean it’s been said about Colby since the beginning of his career by like literally everyone 😂 but yeah sure
Fun fact - RC got ranked #15 of Complex’s ‘most entertaining people in sports media’ but when it lists all media he does this show [DC&RC] isnt on the list at all
Two of the most wholesome fighters in the UFC two great championship
Chris weidman a G. His story about not giving up after the leg break is inspiring good guy.
Kamaru is right, most people are fairly set on either side, but I'm on the fence because of how Leon managed to win against Usman. Colby and Usmans fights were way more aggressive with much more output compared to Usman and Edwards. Stats show that for those who cant remember. If Colby brings that intensity to Leon maybe he can smother the kicking game, catch kicks and work his grappling. I think Kamaru was confident to stand with Leon and play the power-counter game as it had been so successful for him in the past, but Leon was content to stay outside of boxing range and throw kicks. If Colby goes forward, doesnt give that space & forces grappling constantly that seems like a winning gameplan. The question is will Colby have the cardio to constantly push the pace if Leon offers meaningful resistance & will Leon be able to land hard kicks to Colbys body that could hurt his breathing, and follow up with a high kick as he has done. Leons grappling skills arent being mentioned enough either. Never been submitted, gave up much less control time in Usman 3.
OHH PADDYY THE BADDDYY!!!!
This is a crazy duo! Love the pace and slight jabs! Kamaru gon put DC in a bulldog hold!😂 👍👍
Kamaru and DC need more air time together, great duo.
Adding Usman permanently would be as good a decision as picking up the UFC for ESPN.
Dc tried so hard Usman to agree with him 😂 gonna cry once Colby wins
This is why I will forever be the Usman 🇳🇬 fan. He's well spoken and unbias at all. Very classy.
On god DC, keep Usman in the loop, his analytic eye for the sport is special.
Kamaru is a great guest
I’ve actually always hated usman because his personality but since getting humbled he seems extremely smart and much more likable and great takes and analysis. I could seem him being a great analyst or commentator
He's been a great analyst even before he got kod.
He was always humble tbh
Fake support, you just hated so much that you never noticed
He always was humble you kids are cringe
@@davidawonaike1188 no he wasn’t, in any way. Go watch his pre fight press conferences and interviews when he was champion. Are you blind or just blinded by a race you like?
Love the Usman & DC chemistry
Kamaru is a phenomenal analyst. Not biased, much respect.
Usman khamazt rematch needs to happen ✊
Leon only has 7 knockouts in 21 fights. There is some myth going around that he's some KO specialist. The guy got a lucky head kick on Usman. The third fight, he won but IMO, it looked like Usman didn't want to wrestle as much for some reason or maybe his knees really are shot and he can't keep that pace.
Leon isn't necessarily a one-punch/kick KO artist, that's true, BUT, that head kick on Usman was set up to perfection, no luck involved.
Usman class act how he talks about Colby, and has very valid unbiased points.
Such a good thought process on Colby by Usman.. that’s made me so excited for this fight!!
Usman is SOOO much better than DC on this show smh. We need Usman as a regular here
Like kamaru on but i think jon jones makes more sense as the co host.
DC & Marty
