Gilbert Burns

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.
