UFC 273 featured this Saturday, the 9th, with the fight between Khamzat Chimaev and Gilbert Durinho. The clash was the toughest test the Chechen has had so far this season, but it wasn’t what he imagined. In front of the second place in the welterweight ranking, he went for the first time to the final bell of the third round.
The Brazilian put on a good fight, but ended up being defeated by the unanimous decision of the judges in a triple 29-28 in favor of Chimaev, showing that his rise in the competition is real, guaranteeing the permanence of his invincibility in MMA. The Chechen was so comfortable before the fight that he even sat on the fence to wait for his opponent.
CHIMAEV WAS SURPRISED WITH GILBERT DURINHO!
“I was too excited to knock him out. I was telling everyone all week that I was going to knock him out in the first round. I tried to knock out. This was my mistake at first. The guy was tough, I didn’t take it. From the first second to the last I tried to end the fight. Next time, I’ll work on being a little smarter. I’m going to crush someone. It wasn’t something that surprised me, but it was wrong for me. My coach told me all along to be more technical“, he stated.
Who’s next? 🤔
