Gilbert Burns vs. Rashid Magomedov @ UFC Fight Night Sao Paulo

[Dragon Punch]

I can't read Gilbert without seeing Giblert.

I definitely agree with the consensus on Rashid by either TKO or by a unanimous decision. I recently rewatched the cowboy Oliveira fight and Burns was easily down 2-0 before the 3rd round finish. Rashid's striking is going to be a nightmare for Burns, especially if Burns can't find the takedown.

Sidenote: Great matchmaking by the UFC, glad to see Rashid finally got a fight.

I Agreed with all of that, except I thought rashid would get someone a bit higher up the food chain. It's still a good fight though.

I am curious as to why Rashid has been out so long and why he seems to always fight in Brazil.

Eventually! Rashid by ko. Burns looked pretty hopeless vs Brazilian Cowboy when striking. I am willing to bet that Rashid is a better striker than about 80% of the division.

I think he's even better than that in terms of striking. Future contender imo
