Gilbert Burns, a former contender for the UFC welterweight championship, shared his opinion on the current organization lightweight champion Islam Makhachev.

“Makhachev is quite big, he is a welterweight. He just kills himself during the weight cut. Every time at the weigh-in, he looks terrible, skin and bones. And the next day he is big again,” Burns is quoted by Inside Fighting.
