Last Saturday the fight world saw a war inside the octagon on UFC 273. Apart from the main and co-main event, Khamzat Chimaev vs Gilbert Burns had the biggest hype. According to Dana White, Burns vs Chimaev had a hype better than the title fights.
Coming to the fight Khamzat was on a 3-fight winning streak in the promotion. Burns, on the other hand, was also fresh off a win against Stephen Wonderboy Thompson. But, what’s interesting was almost every fighter in the top 10 of the welterweights ranking then denied fighting Khamzat. However, Burns decided to take a ride on Chimaev’s hype train.
On Saturday night, Khamzat and Burns went to war and the judges scored the fight in favor of Khamzat unanimously. This helped Khamzat to jump 7 steps in the new UFC rankings and it made him the third-ranked fighter in the welterweight division.

I need to be, everywhere, black belt, striking, ground-and-pound, wrestling, grappling, whatever, everything. I will fix everything now. One way I’m happy and one way I’m mad. I’m mad because I couldn’t finish the guy.”
