Khamzat Chimaev doesn't see a real challenge in Gilbert Burns: 'I will just smash him with my skills

[Lights Out 101]

Second round finish for Khamzat.

 

[DOMMA]

Burns is not small. He left 155 because he almost died making the cut. He is 5' 10" and walks around at 190#. He is a decent sized Welterweight, not huge but average size. He has decent striking and a decent ground game. If Chim walks through him it is over for the balance of Welterweights.

 

[Luvhawky]

If Chimaev can walk through Burns like everyone else then the WW division has a serious problem

Completely agree, he would be a favorite as a challenger if he could just walk through Burns. I still haven't bought into the hype yet, but this fight will be very revealing.

But then again, this guy sold wolf tickets big time before, he was talking big time against Gerald's BJJ as if he was going to grapple, but come the fight night, zero intent to do so. He might just be talking shit, but who knows?

That fight lasted 17 seconds. Meerschaert was KO'd almost immediately. There was no opportunity to grapple.

What in the fuck are you talking about?

Worked quite well against ma boi GM3 though, no?

 

[Eric Silva 2.0]

Khamzat is the most annoying personality in MMA

 

[HNIC215]

Really excited for this matchup…

Can’t wait!! May the best fighter win.

Lowkey hope it’s Khamzat cause we already saw Burns lose to Usman.

 

[TheScorpionDude]

Pretty long negotiations. I wonder what they were negotiating and which country they'll fight in. They are pretty picky about his opponents.

i dont understand the hype around khamzat - he hasnt warranted any of the hype imo by beating fighters that are nowhere near the top 10 of the welterweight division. its like a baseball player in the minors hitting .300 saying hes going to dominate major leaguers. its laughable. if he beats burns....ok...ill give him alot of credit, but until that result....the verdict is out on him.

I'm on Khamzat bandwaggon, but if he underestimates Burns, he's going to get some serious humble pie.

I still have Khamzat, but Burns isn't someone to take lightly.

You hold it against him that Gerald couldn't take one punch without getting sent to the shadow realm? The fight lasted 17 seconds and you hold it against him that he didn't grapple. Wow.

For anyone with eyes and ears. A Worse personality than yours.

What a party pooper.

 

[Midget Boxer]

Khamzat will murk these UFC bums

He smokes Mousasi too

 

[Midget Boxer]

An elite ground game doesn’t mean much against Khamzat’s smothering style. Burns’ only path to victory is a sub off his back because he’s inevitably going to get taken down. Those are low percentage subs in MMA to begin with but with Khamzat relentlessly raining down punches on him, there is almost zero opportunity for Burns to mount any real offense.

Okay but I'm picking chimaev over burns

 

[Versez]

I hope chimaev isn’t getting over confident , it could play against him , but I believe he doesent have a yes men army around him

 

[JonJonesNeedle]

I really think Khamzat will do to Burns what he did to GM3

 

[BonesWinckleJones]

burns wont land a single strike

 

[Aurelian]

lol that was a weird comment considering Khamzat ended GM3 with the first punch he threw.

I still have Khamzat, but Burns isn't someone to take lightly.

He also hit him once and KOd him dead. I doubt that's proof he didn't want to grapple lol.

 

[MMAProfessional]

Khamzat is way bigger, but Burns should give him a better fight than Jingliang!

Yeah even tho Leech isn't the best the fact that him made it look so easy is pretty crazy. If he can smash Burns the hype train is going to be insane. Way worse than it is now. I'd assume he gets a title shot with that and if Usman isn't ready I wouldn't be surprised if they do an interim to give Usman no choice but to fight him (not saying he's scared.)

 

[Oscar Madison]

Khamzat is a shot of fresh energy into the UFC grind.
