Belal Muhammad saw strengths and weaknesses in Khamzat Chimaev after his performance against Gilbert Burns at UFC 273 this past April.
Chimaev and Burns were involved in a ‘Fight of the Year’ contender that saw ‘Borz’ defeat ‘Durinho’ via unanimous decision. The win did not come as easily as the others for the undefeated welterweight, who had either knocked out or submitted all of his opponents inside of two rounds before fighting the one-time title challenger.
Though impressed with his toughness, Muhammad also noticed holes in his strategy he could exploit if he was to fight Chimaev in the near future.
