While most fighters find their greatest professional rivalries out of trash talk and personal differences, Chiesa has found his in the surging Gilbert Burns, who’s slated to meet Tyron Woodley in the main event of the UFC’s upcoming May 30 event.
Both Chiesa and Burns have found great success leaving strenuous weight cuts to 155-pounds behind. Burns has gotten the opportunity to take on a former champion, and Chiesa admits he’s a little salty about getting passed up. But the TUF winner believes a fight with “Durinho” is still in the cards sooner rather than later.
