Former UFC title challenger Gilbert Burns is the next man in line to try and derail the Khamzat Chimaev hype. The two men will face each other at the main card of UFC 273 next month.
It could be the toughest test of Chimaev’s career, and likewise, it would not be a walk in the park for Burns. And for his part, “Durinho” is making changes to his preparation. Burns talked about some of it during his recent guesting on MMAFighting.com’s Trocação Franca podcast.
“I had to hire two wrestlers, two very tough Russians who are helping me daily,” he said in Portuguese.
