To me, it seems predictable actually. Khamzat will likely win over Usman.
Sad to say a fighter who loses twice while at the top of his career results in more loss after it. There are several examples of this in the past like they get depressed after it. While Usman in such a situation is to fight with the most promising at short notice, he is desperate to prove himself once again but probably offered a huge amount like Volk.

I say unpredictable because I favor Chimaev but his fight against Burns gives me a little doubt because Chimaev couldn't dominate Burns in that fight. I can say this will probably be another knockout for Usman and of course the picture you showed is one of the best highlights that Edwards has and it is possible that the UFC will continue to use that knockout as long as Edwards is still fighting in the UFC Grin

Usman, Kamaru 3.30
Chimaev, Khamzat 1.38

This is from Stake.

Looking at what happened in Izzy vs Strickland, an unexpected upset can also happen between Usman vs Khamzat. This could probably happen if the fight does not end in 3rd round and restless Khamzat wears out. Usman can last up to 5 rounds, this is his advantage. So yes he does have a big chance.

Its what Khamzat can do in the first round that will be worrisome and you can expect Khamzat will do his worst.
