The history of UFC is full of thrilling events. Every upcoming event brings with it a history. Which has been remembered for years. And at the same time, rumors are circulating in the UFC. But sometimes these rumors come true.
Rumors of a fight between Khamzat Chimaev and Gilbert Burns have been circulating for months. But now it seems that their rumors are beginning to come true as the two are expected to clash at UFC 273 in Jacksonville, Florida in April.
The two have agreed to fight each other but have not yet formally signed an agreement. If he competes against Gilbert Burns, he is expected to take a bigger step than Khemzat Chimaev. Burns is currently ranked 2nd in the welterweight division at the UFC.
"All these numbers don't make sense," Chimaev told RT Sport. "Honestly, I don't see any real challenge in that. We'll see. Everything can happen in a fight, but I'm as confident as ever. I think I'll break it down with my abilities and strength. Looks like he might feel different, but I'll go there and do what I did last time.
Khemzat Chimaev wants to fight everyone. The main event of UFC 272 sees a match-up in which a Russian-Swedish fighter is interested.
"I think they will give us a big fight. Masvidal is a minor favorite for me, but Colby is also a tough guy. He fights well. We'll see," Chimaev said. "I think it's 50/50. I don't care which of them wins. I'm fighting Burns right now, then after beating Burns. It seems that Usman has an injury in his hand and it will take time for him to recover. I hope he will recover soon. I am also waiting for this man. I am waiting to fight him.
"But for now, I think if there is a fight between me and Gilbert, the winner of our fight will be the winner of the Masvidal-Covington race for the interim title or the No. 1 contender position. That sounds like a good idea to me."
UFC Welterweight doesn't care who signs the contract or who wants to fight it. If not Gilbert Burns, he will be fighting someone else in UFC 273.
"I don't care if he (Gilbert) signs the agreement or not," Chimaev said. "That's it. Anyway, I don't care. If Burns doesn't sign it, then any of the top 10 [works]. I just need to fight, get my money's worth and move on. If I kill them all one by one, they will not be far from me.
