3 years agoThe No. 11-ranked welterweight and rising star Khamzat Chimaev remained undefeated by defeating the No. 2 ranked Gilbert Burn in a unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) on Saturday. In 15 minutes of action, Chimaev racked up 108 significant strikes (124 total strikes) and landed two of three takedown attempts. Chimaev got the war he needed to prove to the doubters that he can go the full 15 minutes while weathering the storm and absorbing big hits. A matchup with Colby Covington could be the bridge Chimaev needs in order to get his title shot by the end of 2022/beginning of 2023.--Matt Bricker - RotoBaller
