Usman is going to be the most expensive fighter on the DFS slate because he is one of the best, if not the best, fighters on the planet. He hasn’t lost a fight since 2013 and has successfully defended his title four times leading up to this bout. One of those defenses was against Colby Covington and it ended with Usman winning by KO/TKO in the fifth round. If you have to roll Covington for your lineup, the benefit is just that Usman isn’t known for putting away fights early. He is like a lion on the prowl. He toys with his prey before finishing them. If you do choose Covington you should at least get a few rounds of value before Usman decides it's time to end the fight.
