Khamzat Chimaev

Who will the standouts from UFC 273 fight next? Brett Okamoto plays matchmaker.

She doesn't need to get to a title fight in 2022. Yan is a scary opponent, and Cruz would have to be perfect. It was a close fight that could have gone either way, but the UFC is not about to run it back again. He was willing to take the fight the rest of the division didn't want in Chimaev, and he very nearly pulled it off as a significant underdog. There are a lot of moving parts in all of this, and I don't know if Burns and Usman would ever fight again, unless there were a title on the line. But Chimaev looked human in this fight, and Covington is one of the best in the world. If Edwards loses to Usman, this makes a ton of sense -- although I will say, I think the UFC would take a close look at Edwards vs. He accepted all of that, and put on one of the best performances of his career, even in a loss. The UFC is looking at a return to England this summer. A part of me hates to see them fight because one has to lose and then you lose a potential title challenger. But Allen is still looking to build his profile, and a fight against Jung would do that. Jung is 35 and says he still has a little left in the tank.

You’ll notice I am not breaking down either of the title fights. Although it is not the main event, Khamzat Chimaev will fight former welterweight title challenger, Gilbert Burns, in one of the most exciting fights this year.

Chimaev and Burns may well have put on the Fight of the Year on Saturday night in Jacksonville.

"I wanted to be 11-0 with 11 finishes. Chimaev popped back up to land a huge combination before a brawl ensued with Chimaev soon bleeding from his nose. "I go against the odds, I don't care. I won't stop." Just 15 months after he lost a shot at Kamaru Usman's welterweight title despite dropping the defending champion, the 35-year-old Burns routinely answered the huge strikes of Chimaev in order to hold his ground. This is just what I do for work to make money.

At UFC 273, Khamzat Chimaev defeated Gilbert Burns via unanimous decision in a dramatic welterweight bout.

With the victory, Chimaev continues rocketing up the UFC ladder toward a title. Burns was widely-regarded as a leap up in competition for "Borz," who has now won all five of his UFC fights inside the distance. As the final horn sounded, Chimaev laid on top of Burns but wouldn't let go. Burns shoved him off and Chimaev landed an open-hand slap - all after the horn. Another giant Burns punch floored Chimaev to the canvas. The first round played out as many of Chimaev's fights have in the past.

'Craziest fight ever watched': UFC stunned over bloody 'war'

“Who’s the famous fighter? Who’s the most people [talking] about? Those guys don’t know how to get up, the other ones didn’t know how to wrestle. And that he did. “I don’t see a monster. You either make it through or you don’t. He made it through with flying colours.”

UFC 273's main card saw Khamzat Chimaev defeat Gilbert Burns in a thriller. Stars across social media offered their thoughts on the action-packed fight.

Now we know he can take a hard shot. And while all three scored the fight in Chimaev's favor, it was clear as the decision was being read that something had changed. But we didn't know how he'd respond when the early finish failed to materialize. Given the way both men were fighting, it was frankly shocking that the judges were required, but that's the way it happened. Entering the fight, the widespread belief was that Chimaev would slice through his more experienced foe, whether he got the job done by way of knockout or submission. Despite their dwindling energy reserves, the pair continued to fight with extreme intensity for the entirety of that final round, pelting each other with punches that most likely would have stopped lesser fighters in their tracks.

The win over Gilbert Burns on Saturday was the Chechen's first UFC fight to go three rounds, but it proved to be more valuable to him than another quick ...

“That was going into the third round. The three-round affair was thrilling from start to finish and earned both men the evening’s “Fight of the Night” bonus. Chimaev said it also provided him with valuable lessons as well, the kind that are often gained through defeat. Chimaev clearly demonstrated that he’s one of the absolute best welterweights in the world, and sometimes being pushed to your limit is even more valuable than simply dominating an overmatched foe. “From the first second to last second, I tried to finish him, you know? I’m going to knock him out.’ I tried to knock him out, you know?

Chimaev had a more difficult time than he did in his first four UFC wins, but he proved he can beat an elite foe.

Will anyone ever steal the show from the 27-year-old Chechnya-born Swede? If he does end up in the cage with Covington, as the UFC would like, Chimaev (11-0) would surely be a crowd favorite, but what would the oddsmakers say? Chimaev clearly had proved to them that he belongs in the top tier. Saturday was a big night for fighters proving their worthiness of the exalted place they already hold in the sport. All champions in all divisions are called upon to prove themselves every time -- but for Sterling the demand was more so. He dropped Burns with a crisp jab, and from top position on the canvas he dropped punches and elbows, one of which opened a cut on the Brazilian's head. He even looked ahead to Chimaev's next one, saying that if the Chechnya-born Swede defeated Burns, the UFC would try to book him against Covington on a rare network TV show. When UFC president Dana White went on SiriusXM radio to promote the pay-per-view, he spoke just a little about Alexander Volkanovski's main event featherweight title defense against Chan Sung Jung. He said not a word about the co-main bantamweight title bout between champ Aljamain Sterling and former champ Petr Yan. Instead, White spent much of his time talking about Chimaev, "somebody that people are very excited about." And despite Burns' lofty credentials and Chimaev's relative inexperience at a high level, many had no hesitation in predicting a Chimaev win. Standing across the cage from Chimaev on Saturday was a fighter on a whole different level. This time he was in a competitive fight. Burns had been bloodied and beaten down in a brutal opening round, but he had survived. A 124-2 edge in total strikes in his UFC debut.

Khamzat Chimaev is down to fight anyone and everyone in the welterweight division after cracking the top five with a win over Gilbert Burns at UFC 273.

In contrast to his previous UFC bouts, Chimaev had a difficult time with Burns, losing the second round and and the fight in some fans' eyes. The end result was ...

We’re in Jacksonville, Fla., with a Russian and Brazilian [as] the biggest fight of the night, and everybody’s going crazy, so I think it’s a big fight.” This is s*** you can’t train for, and you either make it through it or you don’t. He made it through with flying colors.” The end result was a “Fight of the Year” candidate and, according to UFC President Dana White, one of the best fights ever. “It’s one of the best fights I’ve ever seen, it’s one of the coolest fights I’ve ever been to,” White said at the post-fight press conference. Chimaev did get the win, but MMA fans are harsh critics. On Saturday night at UFC 273, Chimaev won a unanimous decision over Gilbert Burns in a hard-fought contest.

The first round played out as many of Chimaev's fights have in the past. He quickly took the fight to the canvas. But unlike many of his other UFC foes, Burns ...
