CHANNEL – ATHLETISTIC:
I don’t think so (it’s my biggest test). A lot of people think it is, but I don’t think so. He’s too small for me. I will crush it. As I always say, this guy is not on my level. Good skills but not at my level“, he stated.
“He will bring his game to my table and I will devour him. I will do as I always do. I’ll take your head home. My jiu-jitsu is top notch. If you don’t believe my jiu-jitsu is good after the fight, when I smash his face in, we can do a special wrestling match, or grappling, or jiu-jitsu, whatever. I’m better than him everywhere“, followed.

The fighter declared that the rival is not prepared enough to face him and understands that Burns is afraid. In addition, the Swede assured that he is better than the Brazilian in any other category of fight.
“He will bring his game to my table and I will devour him. I will do as I always do. I’ll take your head home. My jiu-jitsu is top notch. If you don’t believe my jiu-jitsu is good after the fight, when I smash his face in, we can do a special wrestling match, or grappling, or jiu-jitsu, whatever. I’m better than him everywhere“, he explained.
Chimaev also finished saying that he respects Durinho before UFC 273: “I also respect him a lot. It has nothing to do with respecting or not respecting in the cage. As a human, as a person, I respect him, he’s a good family guy, he does good things for his family. But it’s not about respect. In war, you can’t respect guys, you have to kill someone”.
