Former UFC welterweight title challenger Gilbert Burns predicts a war against Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 273, which is more than can be said about the latter.
Burns (20-4 MMA, 13-4 UFC) knows he has a tough test ahead of him against the undefeated Chimaev (10-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC), but ‘Durinho’ believes he will be the one with his arms raised at the end of the contest.
The Brazilian spoke to Helen Yee ahead of his April 9 showdown against Chimaev.
“I see it going very hard,” Burns, who will look to elevate himself back into title contention with a win over Chimaev, told Yee (h/t MMA Junkie).
