Honestly IDK.

I think it all comes down to how Masvidal manages Colby crotch sniffing tactics. If he manages to push him off he has a good chance of knocking him out.
 
I give Masvidal approximately 2%, 1 in 50 chance of landing a 5 second flying knee to start (and end) the fight, which is the only one time he has done it in his 50 fight career.

I'm betting my entire Bovada account balance on it.
 
That trick can only work once. Everybody's been looking out for it ever since.

And Covington's not the type to immediately go to wrestling an opponent after the opening bell, which was Askren's habit.
I think he just meant a brutal KO knee timed off a takedown in general, not specifically one at the opening bell.

70/30 Colby. I know everyone likes to dismiss Jorge as a journeyman, but he's developed some fast, accurate and lethal strikes in the later stages in his career, and paired with his very improved takedown defense, he's a legit top 5 fighter in the division. I think their is going to be a lot of danger for Colby early, Jorge will likely keep his hands down to defend against takedowns like he did vs Usman, but I'm not sure if Colby has the power to make him pay for it like Usman. This feud seems to have gotten pretty personal, Jorge is going to throw some vicious shots with bad intentions early. I ultimately think Colby wins more times than not because of his wrestling and cardio, but it isn't going to be a walk in the park
 
After all that time in the training room together, you’d figure that deep down inside, both know who’s better. That leads me to believe that one of them is doing it for the paycheck.
 
70% chance Covington will win (Favorite). 30% chance Masvidal will win seems about fair to me
 
I expect Colby to grind out a win or late stoppage. But masivdal has a 20% chance to win.

Why 20? The longer it goes unless he can keep it standing the less chance he has.
