UFC welterweight Colby Covington has opened as a slight favourite in a possible showdown with Khamzat Chimaev.<\/p>\n

Last Saturday night at UFC 273, Khamzat Chimaev went to war with Gilbert Burns. The two 170-pound stars threw everything they had at one another and in the end, it was Chimaev who managed to edge out the unanimous decision win.<\/p>\n

While some have been calling for him to be vaulted into a title shot against Kamaru Usman, UFC president Dana White seems to believe a Colby Covington match-up<\/a> makes more sense.<\/p>\n

As per Betting Insider Journal<\/a>, though, Chimaev wouldn’t be the one favoured to get the victory in the eyes of the bookmakers.<\/p>\n
