Khamzat Chimaev vs Gilbert Burns may as well have been the main event judging by the way people reacted to the fight. UFC 273 was quite the event and even Dana White couldn't help but be excited once the fights were over.

UFC 273 was expected to be a big test for Khamzat Chimaev and he showed everyone what he was capable of. Dana White admits the fight against Gilbert Burns ended up being bigger than all of the other fights.

“It’s one of the best fights I’ve ever seen, it’s one of the coolest fights I’ve ever been to,” White said at the post-fight press conference (via MMA Fighting). “The place was so loud, and people were going crazy. That fight was eclipsing the co-main and main event all week, and I was talking to [UFC commentator Joe] Rogan, and [UFC matchmaker] Sean [Shelby], and [UFC matchmaker] Mick [Maynard], and everyone else, think about this: when is the last time you saw a guy come out of nowhere, nobody knows who he is, then fights a couple fights and then fights the No. 2-ranked guy in the world and wins?

“When you get into the top-5 in the UFC, it’s no joke, man. Especially in that division. That division is straight killers. Tonight was a big test for him and he passed.”

A lot of people had strong opinions on the way Khamzat Chimaev looked at UFC 273. Dana White made sure to remind everyone that the Swedish fighter is indeed human.

“Well he’s human, White said. “Any asshole that said that doesn’t think he’s human. He’s a human being and he just beat the No. 2 welterweight in the world with a couple of fights in the UFC. If you don’t think he’s the real deal, you’re out of your mind. Yeah, he’s human.”
