Burns weighed the chances of Usman and Chimaev in the upcoming fight

Dmitriy Kel Oct. 19, 2023, 3:44 a.m.

Former UFC welterweight title challenger Gilbert Burns shared his thoughts on the upcoming fight between the former division champion Kamaru Usman And Khamzat Chimaev.

The middleweight contender fight will be the co-main event of UFC 294, which will take place on October 21 in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

“These guys will butt heads in the opening round. Usman will work more relaxed, trying to take the fight to the second or third round. Khamzat, on the contrary, will be explosive. I know that when two fighters meet in the Octagon, their fight turns into kickboxing, but I assume that they will fight to feel each other's strength.

If I had to make a bet, I would choose Usman. I think it will be a close fight, 50-50,” Burns speculated on his YouTube channel.
