Can Gilbert Burns stop Khamzat Chimaev? - UFC 273 main card preview
Khamzat Chimaev celebrating his win over Gerald Meerschaert at UFC Vegas 11It says something when UFC 273 features two fighters whom many could make a very strong argument deserve to be the pound-for-pound best in the sport populate the card... and they don’t appear to be the star attraction. That’s the type of buzz Khamzat Chimaev has been able to produce in the span of four UFC fights. Hell, Chimaev’s star is burning so bright that it’s easy to forget one of the most recent “anointed ones” in Mackenzie Dern will show up just one fight before him. The Chechnyan has the look of a generational talent that should be appreciated to the fullest extent as he has yet to be seriously tested. The hope is that recent title challenger Gilbert Burns will be able to change that.
