Former UFC welterweight contender Gilbert Burns commented on a potential fight between Colby Covington and Khamzat Chimaev.
“Very close fight. We need to see Khamzat in a five-round fight, and Colby has already participated in such battles several times. I don't know if Colby can use his wrestling. I also don’t know if he will be able to withstand Khamzat’s blows.
Colby will definitely not be able to harm Chimaev. I rather see Khamzat as the favorite of this fight, ”Burns quotes MMA Junkie.
On April 10 at UFC 273, Chimaev defeated Burns via unanimous decision.
