Now this is a fight to get excited about! I can't stand Covington, but his cardio is great, and if he can get past the 1st round, I think Kahzmat will eventually gas out and get finished. Im only right predicting the winner about 50% of the time though, so who knows. I'm anxious to see it though.
 
It’s the only fight that makes sense for either of them. And the fans. Gotta make it happen.
 
I think Colby wins, but rounds 1 & 2 we see him get outgrappled. After that he takes over with output.
 
March 4? Why? Colby is spending his entire career on the sidelines.
 
Belal will get screwed, I guess he can only hope for is the loser of Leon/Usman 3

Try to see the positive though I could be wrong. He may have a Floyd or Lennox Lewis type run where as the rest destroy themselves his run is when the division is mildly damaged.

He’ll have his turn
 
kinda dumb that Colby gets a TS if he wins, I have no interest in Colby vs Usman 3, in that case I hope Leon beats Usman again so we can get some fresh matchups, a lot of ya'll are sleeping on Colby and I hate the man but he's good, I think he can push Chimeav in a 5 rounder
 
Also wanted to mention if this fight happens the press conference and pre fight hype will be legit dangerous because Colby mentioned Khamzats mom naming him…you know what
 
I guess Belal vs Burns. That or he could wait for the loser of Edwards/Usman II. OR do a Geoff Neal rematch should he beat Shavkat.

Crazy to think after eight wins Muhammad would be this far from a title shot.
 
They're both legit, this is a good fight.

I don't think Colby has that much of an advantage in gass tank and if this goes to the judges Khamzat is the obvious choice for the good of the division( aka money).
 
I think it'll come down to Colby's sub defense. Khamzat will get him down no doubt, but if Colby can survive I can see him winning the later rounds and getting a decision. I think Khamzat gets it done though.
 
I'll believe it when Colby says he's signed on to fight. Has he said anything about fighting since Jorge sucker punched him?
 
Can Colby survive the first round onslaught?

Belal seemed untakedownable last weekend. Would be interesting to see him vs Khamzat, though I think it’s hard to take Colby down aswell
