Gilbert Burns chambered Khamzat Chimaev in a tweet, however the latter is just not one to let it go. The proof with this change between the two males.
In January, we discovered {that a} welterweight combat between Gilbert Burns and Khamzat Chimaev should take place at UFC 273 on April 9. Nothing is official but, but when it does, it is going to be Chimaev's hardest combat in MMA.
And the confrontation between the two fighters is going down. This weekend, Gilbert Burns chambered Chimaev, saying (through bjpenn):
” I'm ready ! Make sure you prepare your visa! Your hype and all the hype [autour de toi] will be finished soon!”
Of course, Khamzat Chimaev was fast to reply, and here's what he mentioned:
” I'll fix you a visa with my fists in your face! Finished in one round!”
Gilbert Burns has been speaking a few combat in opposition to Chimaev since final 12 months, and again then he already knew it would not be straightforward:
” It can be a ‘combat of the evening' combat. They would have to pay us on the pay-per-view gross sales as a result of it might be a giant combat. We can stand and commerce punches, we are able to wrestle, we are able to commerce takedowns. I do not assume he'll take me down like he did with Li, but when he takes me down, that might be superior. This combat will happen sooner or later. I do not know if it is this 12 months, however I consider it is going to be subsequent 12 months“.
Like what, Burns was not mistaken! Khamzat Chimaev is 10-0 in MMA and 4-0 in UFC. Burns tried to grasp the welterweight belt round his waist in February 2021, but he lost to Kamaru Usman at UFC 258. Burns will strive to bounce again from Chimaev, however he is aware of it may be a trick combat too.
