While I wanted more to watch Chimaev vs Costa due to their trashtalk drama, a fight against Usman is also a good challenge. I would say that Usman is more challenging than Costa. At least Usman is in p4p rating 
Well, we gonna see if that highkick that Edwards landed in 2022 was a game changer for Camaru or not. Based on Chimaev fight against Burns, it seems that Chimaev gas tank isnt unlimited, in third round he breathed heavily. While Usman had 9 5round fights.

While Costa is fairly entertaining in his interviews and on social media, he didn't show anything special in his last few fights. Usman is definitely a bigger challenge for Chimaev.
As of now, the odds for Usman are around x3.25, which seems like a potentially good value bet. I'd expect it to be more even. Of course, the very short notice and the acclimatisation in a different time zone will not be in Usman's favour. But there will be more pressure on Chimaev, since he is very hyped-up and had a full camp.
Its said that Usman who will fight against Chimaev. And whoever wins will hve a title shot against Leon.
Leon is fighting Colby next and I don't think he'll keep that belt. So we're very likely to see Colby Vs. Chimaev for the next title bout, which would be perfect if you ask me.
