Usman changes camp ahead of title defense; Wittman, and possibly Gathje, to corner

When will people realize every single fight will be different. Just because Burns was taken down by Maia does not mean that his next wrestling based opponent will take him down.

If Burns submission attempts on the ground remotely poses an inherent risk with taking the fight to the ground, the question is will Usman take him down thereby allowing himself to be caught OR try keep the fight standing knowing Burns will not be able to take him down.

Well if Usman keeps the fighting standing can he handle Burn's stand up? One can surmise this as a possible reason of the change of camp to Wittman's.

It's a question of who makes the most mistakes in a fight and that's why this match up is stylistically interesting because you have a guy in Burns who has knockout power and poses strong submission threats and Usman who in this match up whomost won't see him getting taken down AND both look like they have relentless cardio. So many questions in this match up.
