Welterweight contender Gilbert Burns will have his hands full at UFC 273.
A considerable underdog against the rising Khamzat Chimaev, ‘Durinho’ is looking to stop his opponent’s hype and put together a new title run himself. For those reasons, the Brazilian does not mind that ‘Borz’ is the favorite ahead of their encounter.
In an interview with Ag Fight, Burns explained that being the underdog can help him focus on delivering a better performance. Now that the pressure is all on Chimaev’s side, Gilbert believes Khamzat is the who one will have to make the first move and make an impact in the fight.
