“I think it’s gonna be a war, I don’t think it’s gonna be that easy. I think that guy’s a dog, he’s gonna come hungry, excited trying to put on s show and so am I. And I think my arm raised, I don’t know how maybe a submission, maybe a knockout but I don’t see a decision. I see a knockout or a submission, second round or third round finish,” said Burns. 

Both Burns and Chimaev are extremely violent fighters with the capabilities to knock out each other. Along with that, both have great wrestling and grappling backgrounds. This puts them on equal footing and unpredictable results.
