Gilbert Burns, former UFC welterweight title challenger, shared his opinion on middleweight Ikram Aliskerov.

"This is a very, very tough guy. He trained with us in Florida. Ikram was going through camp before the fight against Chimaev. He was a real monster! I remember Aliskerov sparring with Kamaru Usman. A nasty fighter with very good striking. High level," said Burns on the YouTube channel Renato Moicano.

Recall, June 22 Aliskerov will fight Robert Whittaker in the main event of UFC On ABC 6, which will be held in Saudi Arabia.
