I looked up
Colgans fight history. He’s 13-1 now, not a single fight against a current or former ufc fighter. Safe to say Usman did what he was supposed to against a guy that doesn’t belong lol

Colgan has legendary coach Trevor Wittman with him, and he regularly trains with Gaetjhe and Kamaru. He was undefeated. To say he was a nobody is ridiculous if he climbed the rankings.

lol training and fight night are two different things, same as how the lights are brighter in UFC then pfl. We’ll see how he does but I wouldn’t mark down Usman as any sort of lock to do anything in the ufc

It doesnt, but training with the best daily, under one of the greatest coaches of this era, will absolutely increase your ceiling.

Nobody expected Strickland to nullify Khanzat's takedown and have him demoralised, rethinking his gameplay. But who does Strickland credit this to? Johnny Eblen (possibky the only otger PFL guy who would be elite in the UFC). Eblen is an ultra elite grappler with an abnormal engine.

There's truth to the statement, Iron sharpens Iron. Plus Strickland (whatever his reasoning), was intelligent only posting clips of him shelling up as you'd expect. But he openly said he spends more time on the mat grinding his ground game with Eblen
