The real issue is that nobody can beat Usman and only Usman can beat Covington. Well, maybe Chimaev can beat Usman/ covington.

How is Colby rallying back like this? Honestly he's exceeding my expectations, thought he was just gonna get dunked on his head and bullied.

That was colby's round. If he takes the 5th, especially dominantly, he could get it by split because the first was close.

But it's 3-1 Usman on my cards.

Honestly think Covington needs a 10-8 to secure or draw have no clue.

4-1 Usman with a possible 10-8 (I didn’t think so but DC and Rogan felt confident).
