I think cory is going to dominate umar, this will be the first one of khabibs pupils to be stopped. Cory is way ahead of Umar in competition/experience and from what he's been saying in previous interviews, he's worked really hard from what we saw in his last performances. I haven't really kept up with umar as much as khabib and islam, but I know he's really good, but I think he has catching up to do from what I have seen.
