Rumored If it's true that Khamzat and Gilbert are next, how do you think it goes?

[Prelimtapper]

Khamzat will easily knock him out in the first round

weight bully vs lw fighter

 

[Dijardo]

29-28 Burns. Chimaev wins first round.

 

[WingzOfRedemption]

Khamzat pushes his shit in (no homo).

Roll up the Durinho pack bron

 

[DS66]

Lots of people calling Burns an "overweight LW", just cause he used to fight at LW. The fact is, Burns is a legitimate WW now. He's ridiculously thick and strong and it's difficult to imagine how he made 155 with his body type. He probably walks around at close to 200 lbs these days. He's a WW, there's no reason to call him a LW anymore.

Having said that... Khamzat is definitely bigger as he's huge for the WW division. Don't see him just rolling over Burns though... I expect a good competitive fight between these two.

This will be a great win for either fighter that will age well with time. That being said hazmat will dagastani weight bully burns to a 50-47

Lol at Burns being a blown up Lw , when he walks around in the 190’s and is clearly much much better at ww ….Chimaev haters getting the excuses ready

You gonna have two 10-10 rounds ?

 

[WingzOfRedemption]

Me personally? No. Every round I would have would be a 10-8

 

[mjfan23]

I think we see Khamzat take more strikes in this fight than we have seen in all his fights combined.

He still dominates though.

Yeah I see him eating up to 2 strikes too, if Gilbert shows up in top form.

 

[J0rdan890]

I'm not sure who wins. Burns has excellent bjj and dangerous striking. Khamzat has great wrestling, submissions, and one punch ko power. We don't know enough about Khamzats chin and cardio. If he takes burns down he's gonna get submitted. When Gilbert is on the feet he can get reckless and doesn't move his head much which could get him knocked out.

Interesting fight for sure, and a clear step up in competition.

But Khamzat takes it, and relatively easily, I think.
