You can forget about Kamaru Usman. UFC 286 tournament results

Second defeat of Uthman

The fight was balanced and very close. Yes, Kamaru Usman wasn’t eliminated and was close to winning, but it wasn’t enough. The former champion didn’t draw any conclusions from the defeat, he didn’t learn new techniques, he didn’t work on mistakes. Leon Edwards has shown all his problems and weaknesses, now it will be very difficult for Usman to continue his career in the same vein.

Gaethje’s victory

Justin Geydzhi had a standard duel for himself, by the way, Rafael Fiziev too. Spectators saw a lot of Thai boxing, elbows and blood. Fiziev looked great, but it’s still too early to catch up with Geydzhi’s level. Justin won by majority decision.

Mokaev’s knee

Englishman from Dagestan Mohammad Mokaev almost lost his knee, entering a painful grip, but did not give up, but managed to strangle Jafelo Filho in the third round.
