It not that Warley Alves is getting bad reaction, It just Volk and Usman aren’t ordinary replacement, They all time great of the sport so people are  going to care about it more than a guy who been losing on the prelims, Warley getting the usual reaction to short notice replacement

Well if GSP can juice and Khabib they may well return, neither is going anywhere near 155 maybe 175-185.
I am not a doctor but I did take first aid 25 years ago and passed I lost the card..somehow.

🤣🤣 My dude is not messing around with this ****! 
He needs to see the contract himself and also talk to the doctors to get an inside view of the situation. He is not beliving anything online.

Just going to say they’re a big skill gap between the people Khamzat been grappling and Usman who only been taken down once in his entire career, Khamzat only smashed **** wreslers like Kevin Holland, Leech, Reece McKee and John Philips, Also Usman better stiker then Gilbert Burns, Who Khamzat has stand up war with

Putting a bit on Usman at +225, it’s a winnable fight for Usman, Khamzat is over rated

Usman vs. Chimaev
Kamaru Usman, TKO
Usman is my favourite fighter. Before Leon Edwards stopped him, he was one of the best fighters in the world. Khamzat ain't taking him down. He ain't beating him on th feet either. This is a W for Kamaru Usman either way. Kamaru is a wrestler himself. His genes are African & that makes him stronger by default. I 100% pick Kamaru Usman.
