“The fight of Burns and Chimaev has been agreed and approved. It got a date. It will be an incredible event, I am looking forward to it. Will their fight be an eliminator'? It makes sense,” White said at a press conference after UFC 272.

The fight of Burns and Chimaev will take place at the UFC 273 tournament, which will be held on April 9 in Florida.
