Fighters Predict Khamzat Chimaev VS Gilbert Burns Fight HD

Fighters Predict Khamzat Chimaev VS Gilbert Burns Fight It has been about a week since UFC president Dana White confirmed that Khamzat Chimaev will finally be going up against Gilbert Burns on April 9, 2022. Although the fight is just less than a month away, UFC personalities, including fighters and analysts, are all making early predictions. Ahead, we reveal who thinks what about how this Chimaev-Burns matchup will go. Will Chimaev’s star continue to rise or will Burns put him in his place? … Although there are no titles on the line, Chimaev vs Burns is a deceptively high stakes match. Briefly after it was officially confirmed, Dana White mentioned that it could be a number one contender fight. There are two UFC fighters in particular that this declaration didn’t go down well with. As they are the number one and the number two ranked welterweight fighters, you can probably guess their names. The number two fighter, Colby Covington, isn’t known for being quiet and reserved. After Covington dispatched with his long-time rival Jorge Masvidal via unanimous decision in his last fight, his eyes have been on Kamaru Usman, the welterweight champion. However, instead of getting to focus on this potential upcoming bout, Covington is being held back from all directions. From behind, Masvidal is accusing him of cheating in their fight since he poked his eye a couple of times. And from ahead, he may have to beat the winner of Chimaev vs Burns just to get a shot at Usman. To Covington and his fans, that hardly seems fair. Surprisingly, Kamaru Usman agrees with Covington.

Sure, Chimaev is undefeated so far. However, in Usman’s opinion, his 10 game winning streak is largely due to the fact that he’s been fighting low-tier fighters. To Usman, Chimaev still has a long way to go before he’s ready to challenge for the title. UFC experts and analysts agree with Usman’s opinion of Chimaev. Despite Chimaev being lossless, he isn’t even top ten on the welterweight rankings. … All of this and more could change for Chimaev on the night of Saturday, April 9, 2022. You see, a convincing win against Burns will prove to all of Chimaev’s doubters that he isn’t just coasting on a lucky streak. As the number 3 ranked fighter, Burns is about as close to Usman as Covington is. A win over him will make Chimaev leapfrog over so many would-be title contenders until he’s right in the champ’s face. But hey, let’s not act like Burns is just some obstacle to be cleared. He’s the number 3 ranked fighter for a reason. Chimaev may not have a lot going on for him by way of titles or official rankings. Nevertheless, the hype behind him is crazy. By stopping Chimaev in his tracks, Burns will regain much of the respect he had which has been draining over the years. In addition to reinforcing that he’
