Burns is 38 and has a lot of miles on him, he’s grown as a fighter though, coming into the ufc as a pure grappler, he’s actually put together a decent stand up game which was validated by his fight with Khamzat, a fight a lot of people thought he won- he rocked Khamzat badly and showed the world that not only was he not done, but that Khamzat wasn’t all that and had a bad gas tank
Brady came in hot, 15-0 undefeated but his 100% wrestle l/ cardio game hit the ufc ceiling and we also found out that his style doesn’t play out in fights over 3 rds
He has not evolved his striking game and his wrestle heavy tactics are now leading to multiple injuries because wrestling is damn hard on the body- askUsman who came in as a heralded wrestler but barely used it because of his age and the risk of injury
I see Burns weathering the storm in the first 2 rounds, I think Brady is going to exhaust himself wrestling and run out of answers when it doesn’t work - and it probably won’t because Burns has good wrestling and a great bottom game
After round 2 , Gilbert is going to light him up on the feet like he did to Khamzat when he faded and Brady’s gas tank will have the dummy light on before the end of the 3rd and so a tko in the 4th for Burns is imminent

My take -
Brady is going nowhere in this division and Burns will be a highly paid respected gate keeper for a couple more years
 
How did he bulshited Brady? What did Burns do?
 
Did TS shorten beats into bs?

I disagree. Burns is old, 38, and is coming off 2 consecutive losses, including a KO in March of 2024. Burns has lost 4 of last 7 fights. Burns does not win big, must-have, fights.

Brady is in his prime, coming off a big win, and has only one loss, against the current champ. I see Brady KO/TKO Burns in the 3rd.

Not if you decide what's a big, must-have fight after he lost, brother. Wasn't his fight with Woodley (that gave him a title shot) a big, must-have fight?
 
My problem with Brady is his gas tank. If Burns can survive a brawl and look for a timed td. He can choke Brady out.

If they keep on stand and bang mode. Brady comes out on top

Yes, I was mistaken, the Woodley fight was a must-win. Woodley was also past his prime, he was 38, the same age as Burns today. Woodley lost his last 4 fights, none were close, he was done after Usman beat him down.

Burns is 2 loses into a post-prime slide, a dangerous place. He is a talented guy who greatly improved his striking but I think Brady is to much for him at this point in his career.
