Fight of the Year?! | Gilbert Burns v Khamzat Chimaev | UFC 273 Highlights

[@Amzyy]

Credit to Burns and Khamzat for giving us a fight we will remember for the ages, really wanna see Khamzat against Colby in a 5 round main event before the title.

I like Khamzat but cobly would maul him

Yeah me too but Colby is known for his gas tank and kamzhats was questionable there for sure if he can't put Colby away within a couple rounds Colby has legendary gas tank in the final couple rounds.

I think Colby could take down Chimaev... Burns almost did and Colby is an elite wrestler... the only issue is keeping a 6ft2 Chimaev who probably fights weighing 181 after his weight cut... but the pace Covington fights at and the chin Colby has, with his newly improved stand up game?

[@1on1z3d]

Well let's be honest, people don't seem to think Burns won but at the same time Chimaev's performance wasn't a solid convincing W either. That was the definition of a draw, but UFC judges are known to favor the cashcows for a long time now. To his honor, Chimaev admitted "he was humbled" and that sums it all up I guess.

[@Dybas21]

One of the best fights that I have seen, no doubt about it🔥

[@xKayNee]

Khamzat too overconfident here, when he fought smarter in early round 3, he was controlling the fight much better. But then he went back to showboating his chin 😐 I think the decision is correct, and this fight was a good wake up call for Khamzat.

[@natedyton61]

Definitely, perfect fight at the perfect time in his career.

@watchmejumpstart this. He got wild when he got tired and pressured, Burns spent so much energy this fight, having to wrestle e bigger guy, closing bigger gaps, punching upwards, I don’t understand why someone can look at this fight and think Khamzat is this incredible guy that will keep improving. He showed so many flaws, he is not even going to be able to fix before going to his true weight class and getting demolished there.

People saying burns was robbed need to stop watching mma, control & composure people, khamzat. Controlled the fight jabs, takedowns combinations. Centre position, applying pressure walking burns down. Burns was just swinging trying to land power shots, essentially shrugged off by khamzat clearly doing nothing. Burns gassed and wasn't composed. He tried but could not control the pace of the fight. End of.

Congratulations to both fighters. Khamzat didn't look as good as I thought he would. Doesn't check leg kicks, no head movement and generally looked quite sloppy.
