Former UFC Middleweight Champion Michael Bisping spoke about the upcoming confrontation between the ex-contender for the title in the welterweight division Gilbert Burns and Khamzat Chimaev.
“I am leaning towards Khamzat. I'm sorry, Gilbert, I know we're friends, but if you see this, you'll hopefully prove me wrong.
You can say that I'm influenced by the hype, but I'll just say that Khamzat's performance against Lee Jingliang blew my mind. It was impressive. Lee is far from a sack, but it looked like Khamzat could do whatever he wanted with him,” Bisping said on his YouTube channel.
The fight between Burns and Chimaev will take place at UFC 273, which will be held on the night of April 10 in Jacksonville.
