Usman is very good on the mic, really enjoy his takes. Legend of the sport
He should get in there and fight Shavkat for a title shot
Respect to usman but if wrestling makes that much a difference for tates vs pauls, then why did Leon knock you out with a head kick. You should have just laid on him for a whole day 😂
@@GroovyGears69 You didn't understand that he was talking about a scenario where Tate brothers have zero wrestling and have to rely exclusively on standing. Clearly that is not the case with Leon. Leon showed great takedown defense against Kamaru.
@@GroovyGears69😂😂savage
@boldottoman I understand what he meant I just think the tates(or someone around them) would be smart and already be training strict TD defense and brushing up on their stand up. The fight would come down to either how good the tates defense can improve until they fought vs how well the Paul's can improve takedowns/control.
Kamaru seems like a solid dude. Smart, humble, driven, and overall impressive.
Never heard Kamaru do an interview and you never know how people, especially someone like an mma fighter will be in long form interviews. Can they maintain being entertaining, likable, and be able to put thoughts together and be well spoken for hours but he has it, he did a good job and I'm impressed and like him more now.
And boring

One of the best champs in the ufc. He stayed way more active than most other champs. Couldn’t stand him at first but he won me over. Much respect for this man and wish more champs fought as much as he did. He made the ufc much more exciting and the way he improved from fight to fight was crazy.
It was that 30 percent bs he pulled..he slowly won everyone back tho
@@tomwilson5721how do u dislike someone for that lol
Hated him when he was champ love him and miss him now that leon the snooze fest is in
He was a good champ but was a snoozefest leg humper in the ring, limited skills, but a TON of heart and tough pace ...top 3 170 champ
Go watch boxing, casual. If another man can hold you down for 25 minutes , he isn't a bad fighter, you are. Wrestling is a show of dominance. Grow up. @@isechico
Kamaru one of the best welterweights ever. I’ve followed his career since his ultimate fighter days. Sad you didn’t get deeper into his amazing career thus far. Hopefully in the future PBD when you interview fighters you'll dig deeper into that. That’s what real fight fans enjoy I can give a damn what the Nigerian nightmare thinks of Connor. I wanna hear about his wars with Colby or his win over Woodley for the belt. Just my two cents. Much love though enjoy the content.
Well stated 🙏
He was above GSP in my opinion too
Well said brother
"I could give a damn" it would make more sense if you said "I couldn't give a damn" Americans never seem to understand this
Like to see the love Kamaru has been getting recently, really speaks to how being authentic and self confident is king
Its only after he is gone fans acknowledged his activity and take on all comers attitude.

@@beaualoevv Brendan Schaub is the man! A great role model for lost souls like you
Unbelivable mindset, what a charming personality. We've been fed with false info that fighters are dumb and uneducated. These guys prove the exact opposite, Proven by time and history, strong yet good and humble people come out from traditional and disciplined families. We shoudl never let that type of families get lost in the books of history.
Patrick getting deeper into MMA is awesome, we need more fighter guests after this
I hope we get more but fuck..hes picking the most boring fighters.
He needs to get the People's Champion, Colby Covington onto the show. He was robbed of yet another decision this past weekend, but in the eyes of fight fans, he's the REAL champion. Just kidding. He's a sad, pathetic piece of trash with Trump's orange ballsack stuck in his throat.

Thank you brother
👍 Much appreciated!
Thank you!
This was the best interview with Usman hands down. Great work legends!
Watch his interview with Brandon Marshall etc, you’ll love it
Legendary status. His fights with Colby were awesome and the way they ended the feud with a hug and huge respect was great
He's absolutely right about wrestling being more dominant in a MMA fight.
Usman is my all time favorite fighter. Came far from the TUF days. His ability to evolve both in fighting and outside of fighting is admirable. Was very excited and surprised to see him on my favorite podcast.
Wow. He went so in depth into the metal aspect of the highs and lows. HUGE props to you Usman. You're a true a physical and mental warrior, win or lose, belt or no belt.
I have never been a big Usman fan but super impressed after watching this. Amazing speaker. Super insightful and the depth was very impressive
Usman is such a stand up guy
Of course he is. It's impossible to take him down.
He’s actually more of a wrestler/grappler but i get what you mean
@@no6odys8fe90 Lmfao
Usman is a great champ and person. He fought the best of the best and continues to do so. He was strong but never a clown or a horrible person like Conner or Colby. Class act. Hard work. No shortcuts. He's just barely being recognized and appreciated.
Usman speaks very well and very knowlegable its always a pleasure to hear him
Usman is a legend in the fighting game.
Thank you PBD for all those amazing interviews and an amazing team you have. God bless you. My respects to Kamaru one of the greats
Usman was an amazing Champion and what an incredible run he had in the UFC. Very interesting to hear his takes here.
K Usman is a fabulous speaker…kudos to him & PBD having him on 👍🏼💪🏼🥰
Kamaru doesn’t say stuff that he doesn’t believe in, he wouldn’t agree to something he doesn’t believe in even if it seems right and all! We need more people like him on major platforms in the world to educate others ❤
False. I like kamaru as a fighter, but he sold out to Chechen dictator Rhamzan Kadyrov along with Gaethje and Cejudo. Flew out to celebrate the dictators sons birthday. Bought and paid for.
@@ivartheboneless5969Because he doesn’t have a problem with the guy. That’s not selling out it’s just a difference of opinion, between you and him.
bro he was getting that bag. LOL im doing the same.@@ivartheboneless5969
@@ivartheboneless5969Werdum is on that list, too... I always make sure to remind people that Chimaev claimed Sweden as his home only until he got popular. It was only then that Kadryov took notice and took him in.
@@jacobsteinmeyer9859 I feel for Khamzat considering it is close to home for him. I don’t think he could cut ties with them if he wanted to, unlike the others who take the money and scurry home like rats. Even if Khamzat supports Khadyrov and is happy to be around him and his sons, (doubt it) i respect the fact he’s not doing it for money, and it’s what he believes. That show’s integrity even if someone might disagree with it, unlike the others who sell themselves to whoever’s got most money.
Usman has handled his losses like an absolute champ. He got even more likeable with the way he has handled them. Nothin but respect
This was fantastic, thanks for PBD and Kamaru for coming together to do this
Kamaru is a good dude, his humble nature during his fights with Edwards showed us who he is. Following that, he was giving Chimaev serious problems and arguably took it... and he was a class act then too. I hate to say this but... losing the belt was the best thing to happen for Kamaru for his public image.
I didn’t like the khamzat fight for him cause it was3 rds ,had it been 5 he probably finishes khamzat. Khamzat is like mcgregor and pimblett in that they gas by the end of rd 2.
Humble? Very few fighters are humble, Kamaru is not even close. I loved watching him lose, not because he isn't good, but because he was so proud.
@ogspermcell Comparing khamzat to pimblet or mcgregor is criminal. Khamzat tore ligaments in his hand, which affected his performance heavily in round 2 and 3. If he didn't get injured he would've finished Marty.
@@coldboremiraklesounds like you have a loser mindset
@@ogspermcell He would maybe win by decision, but he is not finishing Khamzat lol. Higher chances of Khamzat finishing him
"Paddy is Irish"‐Adam🥴🤦🏻
Scouse is NOT Irish 😂 C'mon Adam.
Paddy the Baddy, the most Irish guy to ever exist
Appreciate the time stamps. Watched the 3 minutes I was interested in then got on with my day.
No one is like Connor at all and usman is extremely well spoken
I always look forward to watching this podcast always an interesting conversation and etertaining God bless
I was so excited for this video, but the first thing I see, is the worst introduction you could possibly give Kamaru Usman. You won’t even mention he’s a previous champion come on man.
Never really heard Usman speak before. Intelligent, articulate and seems to have some real depth of character judging by his answers.
Great interview! Kamaru Usman, a tremendous champion, talent and incredibly bright! Thanks for this!!
This dude is all class man.
Love Usman. REAL ONE. Humble and talks the truth. GREAT GUEST PBD !!!!!!!
For a while I’ve been seeing comments about getting Adam off the Podcast and I didn’t think it was fair at first, but lately the more I listen to him I see that a podcast of this caliber needs someone new.
He’s the role model to most black men around the world 🌎 follow this man and get mentored virtually
Thank you Vinny!! Don’t ever mix up the English the irish. Respect for putting Adam in his place where he should be
Etsako to the 🌎 ❤ Kamaru is a class above the rest..
I hated usman so much when he was champ, now that he is not champ I miss him so much. He is the true BMF.
True to his values & principles and yet very diplomatic! Love it!
I think he is one of the most level headed champs the UFC ever had, never any trouble inside/outside the octagon and when he was at his peak (Before the Leon fight) he cleaned up the division, soft spoken, confident and honest
Usman had a dominant reign. He was fun to watch. That Masvidal KO was insane!
This is very good. One of the most accurate representations of the UFC today I have seen IMO
Facts bro
Usman right back to sounding like he's telling spooky stories by the campfire
BPD I was thinking the same thing - that Usman was very thoughtful about each response and I wish I had the opportunity to meet him. But I’ll just say a prayer for him and his family.
Much love from Dublin Ireland great interview

When Usman took the fight against Khamzat when everybody ducked him... you knew he is afraid of no one
And watching him slowly take over…feeling shortchanged watching Kamaru in a 3 round fight
If it was 5 rounds, he would win.
Love this thanks PBD
Usman, you’re a beast. Thanks for all the great fights and wonderful insights.
I wished they asked him about Herb Dean breaking the clinch against the fence that gave Leon the opportunity to get that head kick ..
Another top notch podcast. I love Kamaru Usman, one of my favoirite fighters of all time. It's such a pleasure to listen to him. Well done PBD 👏👏
Great show and guest! Watched the entirety!
I love the Georg Janko interview
Really fun interview ...Thank you !!
Kinda bothered me that nobody corrected him 😂
Cool to see usman on here. Big fan
Usman is still a contender for being the Goat, I can see him making another run of victories
Ru drunk ?
@@Sicwkskxkckckzd I’ll be very honest, I’m four beers deep, but not drunk yet, I’m working on it tho 😂
Usman the all-time goat of the division. Let's be honest
His run made the sport so fun as a fan, he done it right
Watching from Portugal. Great interview
Great interview!!
He heard the nickname because it was for Christian Okoye; played for the Chiefs from '87-'92.
All you are doing is you’re doing all these things love it
Pat Great Podcast with Kamaru.
Great interview guys! Kamaru Usman is the man, amazing athlete in the UFC and overall a real chill dude.
Everytime PBD has a black guest on. Patrick always opens the podcast with sports 😂
Terrific interview with terrific people.
1:33:09 Teixera was the big one. Uppercut 🔥
This great. Thanks for having Kamaru
It's so pleasing to see a soft spoken real man. I know you guys like Tate, but he appears to be a fake man. This man is 100 % real as a human being. God Bless you
And both are realer then you’ll ever be
Honestly didn’t think I would be interested in this show. I had no idea who this guy was…super interesting. Thanks for the introduction!
Usman is a stand up man
Nice one PBD
56:00 - Mine was Ed Mylet and Tim Grover
Wow really great conversation
Disliked at first, proved the haters wrong. Was for a long time one of the pound for pound best. And now well liked and respected.
The interview made me a fan of this dude. 👍
Appreciate the timestamps boys!!
Very smart and well spoken fighter. One of the best UFC fighters..best 5 ever for me
Why are they asking Usman about Tate and Paul brothers? the man is one of the GOATs and they didn’t even speak about his Career in depth…pick your game up lads
Christian Okoye was the OG and got the name for how he ran the ball!! Can’t say it was just around give him proper credit
Really chill guy wouldn't mind grabbing a Vault with this man
Bet on Bet David ! Hi Hunter 👋
Lessons and lessons, blessings on blessings LOOK at WHAT YOU DID! Best show! Immense gratitude ❤
Dude it is know knock on U I'm very proud of My Guy. U were raised very Old school when family matters. A Big thumbs up to your Mom and Dad. And i hope U keep passing it forward.!!
I really wanted Usman’s take and breakdown on the Colby vs Leon 😢
Usman is a good dude , wish him all the best
“2 on 1, I still have them, but it’s getting annoying” 😂😂😂😂😂
Nobody talks about some of the good fighters in one championship but they have awesome fighters there as well
One has the best strikers in the world, and there isn't really room for debate.
@@jacobsteinmeyer9859😂
@@jacobsteinmeyer9859you base that on what? Genuine question
Patty Pimblet is from Liverpool England... He would take pretty great offense you called him Irish I would suspect so...
this made me a bigger fan of usman. very introspective, well spoken, and seems like a good guy
1:06:13 I would add the clinch (specially cage clinching)
Well spoken very interesting perspective. Great champ !! Thank you gentlemen for your work. God bless 🙏🏼
