Burns was ranked 2 or 3 at the time though while Nate is not even listed in the top 10 and is also inactive already for a year. Nate may be able to land some of his strikes but knowing Chimaev's big heart, the guy will not be stopped easily.
Leon Edwards may rematch Kamaru next but I want to see Kamaru fight a lesser opponent as a tune-up. Let Edwards face Colby or Chimaev and then Usman next. I'm bored with the constant immediate rematches UFC has been doing. But Chimaev should be able to get his title shot next year.
If Chimaev won, he will surely get a shot for the title. But if UFC wants to twist it a bit, let him have a match with Usman first. That's going to be entertaining. I guess the question is who they will put for the first title defense of Leon Edwards.
And what's with this clip of Chael Sonnen about Edwards being a cheater regarding the fence grab?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psBhNhQKzXEObviously a biased thought of him. Usman did the same and it was seen by Herb Dean the other fence grab though was missed.
They both did it, which means they both cheated. But it all comes down to how it ended and there's no question it's a clean kick.
