Undefeated Swedish middleweight Khamzat Chimaev shared his emotions after defeating Gilbert Burns within the UFC 273 tournament.

“He's a damn tough guy - I didn't know he was that tough. He has a real Brazilian spirit. I know Brazilians, I have many brothers from Brazil. They are very tough.

Knew Gilbert was strong early in the fight. He did great in all three rounds. It can be seen that he plowed properly before the fight, ”Chimaev said in an interview after the fight.

Recall that Chimaev won by unanimous decision.
