Gilbert Burns, a former contender for the UFC welterweight belt, spoke about the upcoming fight between Khamzat Chimaev And Paulo Costa. According to the Brazilian, this will be a close fight and a lot will depend on which of the fighters will be able to impose their fight.
“I think Khamzat will put a lot of pressure on Kostya for a takedown. If he can do it, Paulo will have big problems and Chimaev will win. But if Costa can defend against takedowns and use his strike, it will be a long night for Khamzat. And then Costa will win.”
Recall that the confrontation between Costa and Chimaev will be held on October 21 in Abu Dhabi.
