Recently, the UFC officially announced the latest battle of the "Wolf King" Chimayev, who will re-ascend the octagon cage on April 10, Beijing time, and the opponent is Burns from Brazil. Chimayev's professional record of 10 wins and 10 ends, is a popular figure.
Chimayev is currently ranked 11th in the welterweight (77 kg), while Burns, who played him this time, is the second-placed fierce character. If Chimaev succeeds in this battle, his ranking will be greatly improved, and it is not impossible to impact the championship this year.
In this competition, the process can also be described as a twist and turn. After Chimayev defeated Li Jingliang at that time, he called out many famous players, but in the end, there have been many opinions on who the opponent is. Until later Burns took the call, the two sides verbally agreed on the game, but there has been no official announcement, and it has not been finalized for a long time.
Previously, foreign media said that Chimayev was restricted from entering the United States, so the game could not be played. At the UFC held in the United States on March 6, Chimayev also appeared in person to watch the game. At present, there is still a month or so left before the start of this game, and I hope that everything will go well for both sides and the game will start successfully.
Compared to Chimayev, Burns' experience in UFC matches is quite rich, and he can be called his big brother. Burns had a six-game winning streak in the second-middleweight and attacked champion Usman in 2021, but was brutally attacked by TKO in the third leg. Since then, Burns' state has not declined, and he defeated the famous "Wonder Boy" Thompson, declaring that his sword is not old.
Burns is very good at ground techniques and has a deep foundation in jiu-jitsu, but he still has a certain gap with Chimayev in terms of height and arm span. In response to the ground master, Chimayev also recently went to Thailand to strengthen the standing technique. It seemed that this time, Chimayev was going to settle the battle on the stand. However, Burns, as the champion challenger boxer, Chimayev thought about his level is not easy, it is very dangerous.
In addition, many UFC celebrities still have some doubts about Chimayev's strength, such as Covington, who ranked first in the second middleweight, bluntly said that Chimayev is not currently qualified to fight with himself.
On March 6, Covington also played the latest game, against the UFC's first fierce man Masvedar. Before the match, Chimayev, who was personally watching the game, expressed his support for Masvedar, but Masvedahl was defeated by Covington in the match. After this game, there are also many martial arts fans who believe that neither Covington nor Masvedar is Chimayev's opponent, what do you think of the heroes?
Next, if Chimaev can successfully win Burns, he will also completely crush the doubts, and the impact on the championship is just around the corner. However, as a rising star, if Chimayev loses this battle, it is actually normal.
In addition to this focus battle in Chimayev, there are many wonderful scenes in the UFC that will start on April 10. The headline main event was south Korean "zombie" Jung Chan-sung challenging featherweight (66 kg) champion Volkanovsky. Peter Yan will fight against the youngweight (61 kg) champion Sterling, will he be able to regain the golden belt?
