On one hand, I wish Usman to win. Because I still think that he has lost his belt accidentally. On the other, if Chimaev win, his next fight must be a title fight and I think he would win it (no matter who champ would be, Covington or Edwards). If Chimaev wins, whole Chechen republic and city Grozny would go crazy (like shooting AK47 in the air in the center of capital as an act of celebration lol).

For sure there are many fans of Kamaru Usman who want him to win this but against Khamzat Chimaev I surely don't believe that Kamaru could make an upset against Chimaev if he is having a difficult time against Leon Edwards, I am really doubting Kamaru Usman, for sure Khamzat Chimaev has an advantage on both the stand-up and the ground,

Well, in this event, I will be going to bet on many cards mostly all Dagestan fighters for sure, I think that will be a profitable and safe bet in my opinion,

^ Mmm I don't think Chimaev is going after the strap at 170. He was originally match up with Costa who's currently 6th at the rankings at 185. And now he's fighting Usman on short notice, still at 185... :/ So I guess the original plan for Chim was to fight Costa then fight somebody in 185's top 5 then a title fight.

It turns out to be a very early fight for him and for sure Khamzat Chimaev needs to gain weight in order to contest Kamaru Usman with his weight and this is on short notice I truly believe that this is the only advantage that Usman has against Chimaev and for me this is a great opportunity for Chimaev to test the waters on this division they surely need to gain weight so he can clash against Kamaru Usman for sure

Sorry, I forgot to update myself. So whoever wins between Chimaev and Usman gets to fight Strickland? This is gonna be epic if Strickland still can make an upset against Usman nor Chimaev. I may not be rooting for Sean but it will really fun to see him defend his belt defeating Usman or Chimaev.

Colby is very favored by Dana despite his inactivity but he may actually beat Leon, very winnable for him so yep the wait is worth it to finally find a champ that he could easily beat.

Yes, that will be an interesting match for sure the winner of the Kamaru Usman and Khamzat Chimaev fight can have a chance on the Middleweight Belt against Sean Strickland for me that is very interesting well both fighters have great stand-up and wrestling to test the defense of Sean Strickland, for me that is a sight to behold,
