Burns predicted the outcome of the battle between Chimaev and Diaz

Former UFC welterweight title contender Gilbert Burns shared his prediction for the upcoming fight between Khamzat Chimaev and Nate Diaz.

“I think Chimaev will crush Diaz and get a title fight. Nate has a strong chin, but I think if Khamzat puts pressure, takes a takedown and starts to beat Diaz, the fight will end in the first three rounds with a technical knockout.

Nate is not as good as me. He doesn't hit that hard, he doesn't have that good jiu-jitsu, he doesn't have that much takedown defense. He has excellent cardio, but there is nothing else to brag about, ”All Star quotes Burns.

Recall that the fight between Chimaev and Diaz will head the UFC 279 tournament, which will be held on the night of September 11 in Las Vegas.
