Gilbert Burns wants five-round rematch against Khamzat Chimaev: ‘I believe we’re not done’

Gilbert Burns is aiming for a rematch against Khamzat Chimaev following their ‘Fight of the Year’ candidate at UFC 273 this past Saturday.

Burns and Chimaev were involved in a slugfest for the ages that was chock-full of shining moments and near fight-ending sequences over 15 minutes. The fight went to the judges’ scorecards, and ‘Borz’ earned a unanimous decision over ‘Durinho’ in what was arguably the toughest test of his professional career thus far.

Given how much of a challenge he gave him that night, Burns has requested a rematch against Chimaev but has added a few stipulations.
