Gilbert Burns will TKO Covington.
Leon Edwards schools.
Kumzart straight up annihilate him.
Edward has great takedown defense. He also a better boxer than Covington. And honestly, in the long run his career is going to look better Covington than the overrated Covington.Edwards gets mauled
Burns gets schooled
Not so sure about the last one. Time will tell.

overrated
spends 10 rounds in the cage with the current P4P king and wins 4 of the rounds
pick one bro. Leon lays on his back for 10 rounds or gets KTFO by Usman like Masvidal did.
Look at Usman's last 10 opponents (minus Colby) and tell me Colby's record if he fought them instead. I'm saying 10-0 or 9-1 at worst.
Giving a tough fight to the champ does not elevate your rankings against the best. All it means is that you gave a tough fight to the champ. Nothing more, nothing less. By the way it's not like Covington won in any of both fights. Styles make fights, and Covington style just happens to make him a competitive opponent for Usman, however, that does not mean that it translates to the guys in the division, because those guys don't fight Usman, they have different attributes and skill sets.
If Covington's is to be ranked amongst the best Welterweight of all time, he'll have to establish an identity not attached to Usman. Currently, at this particular time, there is no single currently ranked top 10 welterweight on Covington's record.
Covington did not go 10 rounds with Usman, he got knocked in his first fight with Usman. Got saved from getting knocked out in round 2 in their second fight .
Though Edwards lost Usman, every round in that fight was highly competitive.
Covington best wins were old washed up welterweight vets on their way out of the sports. He's lucky Usman is a nice guy. The guys at welterweight are going to rob it in his face after beating him.
Colby fans must also been Shevchenko fans.
Rampage beat Wanderlei twice after losing to him twice in Pride.Name one legit MMA trilogy after the first two fights go 2-0 in favor of one fighter.

Sure, Usman is P4P #1 and in conversation for best WW of all time because he beat a 38 year old Tyron Woodley who lost all the rounds he fought after that, including a Youtuber, beat a lightweight, beat another lightweight two times one of which was short notice, and Colby twice one of which I thought he lost by decision.
Interesting.
Lmao!!Your math...
That, plus the third fight happened like 4 or 5 years after the second.Probably the closest legit trilogy fight where one fighter went 2-0. Took place over a decade ago though. That's how rare it is. Also factor in that the first two fights were in Pride and many US fans at the time never saw them thus Silva-Rampage 3 was still a novelty fight.
I think Usman won this fight 48-47 pretty convincingly, but Colby had two good moments in the 3rd or 4th round, hurting Usman to the body with a left kick and stunning him with a left uppercut at the end of the round. I doubt we will ever get a trilogy, Colby will need to go on an impressive winning streak.
And he'll lose againMax might get one by the looks of it
