Khamzat Chimaev A Favorite Over Former Champ At UFC 294
1 year agoKhamzat Chimaev (12-0) is set to end his 13-month layoff on Saturday as he faces Kamaru Usman at middleweight at UFC 294. Chimaev was supposed to fight Paulo Costa, but less than two weeks out, the Brazilian was forced out with an injury and replaced by Usman. With Usman taking the fight on short notice, Chimaev is a sizeable favorite, as DraftKings has him at a salary of $8,900. In his UFC career, Chimaev is averaging 115.8 fantasy points per fight as he has finished five of his six UFC fights. A win here would get Chimaev a title shot at middleweight, according to Dana White.
