My 50 wins over 800"
I would assume all 3 are underdogs but all are great fighters so who knows. Covington has the biggest hill to climb that was a bad beating in the last fight.
To me the Justin/Chandler fight is the hardest to predict. Their like clones of each other, both powerful wrestlers, big power punchers, exciting fighters. Chandler seems like he has an edge in speed. The new cautious Gaethje looked like a champion until Kabib big brothered him.
