Gilbert Burns and Khamzat Chimaev are almost set to clash as UFC 273 gets closer. The two welterweights have a lot on the line and there is a bunch of trash talk in the lead-up to the fight.

Many consider this fight ‘The People's Main Event,' as it has a lot of hype and plenty of questions surrounding it. Gilbert Burns got brutally honest as he talked about Khamzat Chimaev in the lead up to UFC 273.

“I think we’ve got a lot of eyes on this fight. This guy is very tough, but we’re going to test. We’re going to see if that guy is real or not, and I’m here. I’m the guy to test this guy, to stop the hype train,” Burns said during the UFC 273 Media Day.

“I asked to be here. I want to fight the best guys. If he’s one of that, if he’s that beast, that’s the guy that I want to fight.”

Gilbert Burns is a top-ranked welterweight in the UFC and he is one of the rare fighters to accept a fight with Khamzat Chimaev. The Brazilian is excited to test the Swedish fighter's wrestling.

“I’m coming, and I’m going to beat this guy,” Burns said. “His wrestling is very good. His control and ground and pound is good. The fact that he’s very long helps too.”

“I”m the top of the division. I give these guys an opportunity. I want to fight him because I believe that he’s very good, but I don’t see a monster. I see a human being. Confident. A little bit cocky. Undefeated and thinks he’s invincible, untouchable. But we shall see.”

The UFC welterweight sees the fight being very excited when they finally meet. Gilbert Burns expects to finish Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 273.

“I think I’m going to get a finish with this guy, but I don’t know. He’s very tough, so I’m kind of respecting that. But I do believe the way we both fight, I’m going to get a finish,” Burns said.
