Gilbert Burns had a very good fight with Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 273. Many voted the fight as the ‘Fight of the Month' and even UFC president Dana White had very good things to say about the fight.

Khamzat Chimaev ended up being declared the winner by the judges but many agreed it was a moral victory for Gilbert Burns. It was also a very emotional moment for Burns and he recently spoke out, in an interview with The Underground, on how Dana White made him cry after UFC 274.

“I was so mad because I knew it was a good fight, and people were saying, ‘Ay, don’t worry, that was a great fight.’ And I was so mad when they say that,” Burns said after UFC 274. “I kept walking and people (said), ‘Don’t worry, that was a great fight,’ but I lost and I was holding on to, ‘Don’t cry,’ you know? Because I didn’t wanna cry right away… Maybe the third or fourth person came at me, ‘Bro, that was a great fight,’ and then I exploded, crying, ‘but I freakin’ lost!’”

“It gets to a point that, I hate to lose [so much] that I don’t care if it was a great fight. I just wanna win, I don’t wanna lose,” said Burns. “When the fight was over, I was feeling everyone going crazy, everyone screaming at me, and I was holding on to that feeling. And I tried to be positive and see the good things, then first person I see is Dana, ‘That was amazing fight, that was the best fight I ever seen,’ and that same mentality was coming.

“I was holding on [to not cry] every time that he tried to give me good props, a good thing, it was just making me more crazy. Then freakin’ Dana had to make me cry because he talked so much and I was so mad. When I walked out of the Octagon I was already crying, like, ‘shit, I couldn’t hold it,’” UFC welterweight Burns said.
