Burns: "If I can beat Chimaev, then imagine what Pereira will do to him"

Former UFC welterweight contender Gilbert Burns skeptical about the chances of his former rival Khamzat Chimaeva in a potential duel with Alex Pereira.

“If I was able to beat Khamzat, then imagine what Alex will do, given his heavy punches. I lowered him to the ground, and he continues his trash talk. Costa and Pereira have huge hands.

Chimaev could not find himself. Everything happened too fast for him. Three fights, and he has already become a star. At first, he impressed me - he challenged and fought. Then he went out of character - he didn’t make weight, he started creating problems, ”said the Brazilian in an interview with Super Lutas.

Recall that in April last year, Burns lost to Chimaev by unanimous decision.
