I think Khamzat is going to knock out Burns on the feet honesly, I think he going to try and prove a point and steal the title shot from Edwards, The Leon vs Usman fight is rumored, but not offical, Khamzat will  take it as why would the UFC make Leon vs Usman witch would do 200k buy, And not Khamzat vs Usman witch would do a million+ buys, It be bad business

86% on Chimaev, this is why the line is the way it is. Versus Burns Usman had 69% of the vote.

Khamzat will win. He's just too crazy to lose. He loves this. He loves hardship. He loves fighting. He wants his opponent to be at least on his level because all his fights have been too ******* easy.

Khamzat is dangerous everywhere. He can KO Burns, easy. Even if Burns gives resistance to Khamzats attacks, Khamzat will become even more angry to finish him, he's like a dog (in a good way) and the mentality is that you don't run away from an angry animal, you will just aggravate it more. 

Khamzat never looks nervous or scared and I'm positive he isn't. Because he lives for that moment. That moment where you have to either kill or be killed.

Khamzat by KO, R2

Who think Zombie can beat Alex here ?

I doubt it but Zombie favorite style is when they go at him and they are smaller than him.

Now Alex is way more complete, fast hands and not dumb but I'v seen many think he can be the upset of this main card.
I disagree and I think Aljermain will be the upset but what do y'all thinks for Zombie?

Alexander Volkanovski, DEC
Volkanovsk is too good for zombie

Sterling vs. Yan II
Petr Yan, DEC
Yan is gonna win.

Gastelum vs. Imavov
Nassourdine Imavov, TKO, R1
Imavov is younger, hungrier, taller, bigger

Burns vs. Chimaev
Khamzat Chimaev, DEC
Good test for Chimaev. But I think Chimaev will be too big for Burns.

Gall vs. Malott
Mike Malott, SUB, R1
Gall's win-loss-win-loss pattern is gonna end here, and this time it will be loss.

Arce vs. Santos
Julio Arce, DEC
Arce is more experienced and had much better competition.

Garry vs. Weeks
Ian Garry, DEC
Garry is better, also he's bigger and probably will be heavier.

Rodriguez vs. Hansen
Piera Rodriguez, DEC
Rodriguez's record says that she's gonna win

Rozenstruik vs. Tybura
Jairzinho Rozenstruik, DEC
It's a coin toss, but I'll go with Rozenstruik just becuase of his KO power.

Du Plessis vs. Hernandez
Dricus Du Plessis, TKO, R1

Ladd vs. Pennington
Aspen Ladd, DEC
Ladd here. Is Pennington a good striker as De Randamie and Dumont? I don't think so.

At first glance at fights and lines there's fewer interesting bets on this card. Maybe the tape will reveal more

Am I the only one that thinks the Chimaev - Burns line is insane? -600 Chimaev!?
I could understand the hype putting him to -250 or -300, but how it's been steamed is just crazy.
Burns has only lost to Usman at Welterweight, and obviously has the BJJ edge. I also am not so sure Chimaev's striking is so otherwordly, we just haven't seen it much yet. Do I think Chimaev is legit and could be champ one day, yes. However, this is a huuugggge jump up.

Yeah it's a wide line and I've taken a stab on Chimaev's opponent in The Leech at lower odds before.
I'm no longer doubting Chimaev though. I think he might just be that one in a generation type of fighter. But you're absolutely right that he definitely hasn't earned that type of faith on paper.

Chimaev has so much hype on him so the line makes sense. He was never gonna be smaller than a -300 favorite against anyone in the division

I agree. I will probably take a stab at Burns by sub as a flier since it will be ridiculous odds if his straight odds are that high. Maybe some sort of Chimaev by KO and Burns by sub cross bet? Idk we'll see. Can't touch Chimaev straight at those odds though
