Israel Adesanya believes Gilbert Burns can hand Khamzat Chimaev his first loss

Gilbert Burns opened up as a massive underdog against surging prospect Khamzat Chimaev going into UFC 273. The seemingly unfair odds closed at +375 for 'Durinho' and -550 for Chimaev.

The bookmakers have been harsh on Burns, considering the fact that he has a single loss against champion Kamaru Usman in his last eight bouts. But to justify the hype behind Chimaev, 'Borz' is currently undefeated at 10-0, including four bonus-winning UFC victories.

However, UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya believes Burns can hand Chimaev his first professional setback. 'Stylebender' said on his YouTube channel in the lead up to UFC 273:

"I know Burns. He don't play about it. He's real. He's really about this life. I'm glad that he's up at welterweight now because he's a lot more better at this weight class... Burns is good but he gets hit. Everyone gets hit. And he's got power on his punches. You know what, I'll be rooting for Burns. I think he can get it done."
