On my last video I stated that 3 Welterweight fights in the top 10 were in the works and
the UFC has officially confirmed 1 of them.
Kamaru Usman vs Santiago Ponzinibbio has been scheduled for UFC Chile on May 19th . Although
this does very little for Usman's ranking as he's fighting an opponent ranked 3 slots
below him, he is getting a headlining event in an untapped market in Chile.
He has a lot of expectations to meet after claiming he was only at 30% vs Emil Meek in
his last competition.
Kevin Iole from Yahoo sports interviewed Khabib Nurmagomedov's Manager Ali abdelaziz.
He asked ali for his thoughts on Tony Ferguson stating that HE broke barboza and that Khabib
didn't fight the same man.
The link to the full interview is in my description box below.
here's what Ali had to say check it out:
"No, he cheated Barboza.
That's what happened.
Check the first round.
He up kicked him.
Barboza should not have continued this fight.
If you go back that round.
He did.
He cheated Rafael Dos Anjos by poking him in the eye.
If you watch it in slow motion his whole finger went in his eye.
Listen, Tony Ferguson is a good fighter but he cheats.
I'm not saying he cheats on purpose.
But, if you go back to the fight, Barboza, was busting him up.
Even, Barboza, who's a stand-up guy was taking him down.
Yeah, he took him down.
Barboza, took him down.
You don't think Khabib is going to take him down and punish him for 5 rounds?
And the whole thing is that he cheated Barboza.
Go back and watch.
He can say whatever he wants but he didn't break Barboza.
I don't think he did.
The only thing I saw he was getting whipped by Kevin Lee and Kevin Lee got tired and that's
the only thing I remember, you know, he was getting whipped and mounted by a guy, by Kevin
Lee, and almost finished, but Kevin Lee got tired because he had a staph infection I believe
he doesn't have the mental Khabib has.
He doesn't have the strength Khabib has.
He doesn't have the technique has.
I'm not going to question his heart because I think he has heart.
I say the truth.
Whatever I say, I say the truth all the time and especially when it comes to a fighter,
I can never question Tony Ferguson's heart.
But, he has skills, but like I say, there's levels to this s***, there's levels to this
s***."
Ali also said that he believes Khabib genuinely dislikes Tony after being called a biaaaatch
and he gave his own predictions as to how he believes their fight will go.
"I believe Tony Ferguson is tough.
He has a lot of heart but I think he's delusional.
If he thinks he's gonna go there and do all this Karate S*** with Khabib, he's a
highschool wrestler.
He's going to get taken down.
Khabib is going to let you know what he's going to do.
He's going to take you down and he's going to stay in your half guard, punish you, pass
your guard, talk to you, grab your wrist and talk to Dana and tell him how bad conor is
scared.
Honestly khabib never fought someone he didn't like.
But he really doesn't like Tony Ferguson.
No, one of the words you don't say to another man, as a Muslim man, is call him a B****.
I think Tony Ferguson said it so many times that I think it offended Khabib.
Personally, I don't got a problem with Ferguson.
I think he's a good fighter.
People think I have a problem.
I don't because I'm not fighting him.
But I think Khabib does not like him.
I think Khabib is going to punish him for some of the things that he says.
I think It's a little personal with Khabib.
It's business but he's probably going to beat him up.
He's going to break a couple bones in his face like his orbital.
Some of the training he does is designed to cause a lot of damage, facial damage.
I think it's going to happen.
I think after the fight they'll shake hands and everybody goes their separate ways, but
Tony Ferguson will not be the same man.
There is one man that has fought both men and has a unique perspective and that is Michael
Johnson.
He was asked what he thought were the keys to victory for Tony and he said "The key
to beating Khabib is staying off the ground and keeping him off of you and keep it moving.
Tony's got great movement and the cardio to do it, and he's gotta stay long and stay
out of Khabib's range of getting grabbed.
Khabib's gotta put a lot of pressure on him and he's gonna get him down to the ground.
That's what he wants to do to win, everybody knows it, we all train to stop it, yet nobody
has stopped it.
So we're all looking forward to seeing if Tony is gonna be the first one to stop it.
Do I think so?
I don't think he'll stop it, but I definitely think he has the skill and the ability to
stall it out on the ground or work to get back up."
Johnson was also asked if Khabib's grappling is as a good as everyone says it is and he
responded "I could definitely say that the pressure is more than I felt and it's a
different pressure,He feels along the lines of a middleweight or light heavyweight when
he's on top of you.
I don't know if it's technique or just him being that physically strong.
It's probably a little bit of both."
We're only two weeks away from getting all of our questions answered as we are all hoping
the fight happens since Tony and Khabib are attempting to fight for the 4 time now after
their last 3 bout cancellations.
