Rising UFC star Khamzat Chimaev just fought a tough and bloody fight against No. 2 ranked welterweight Gilbert Burns. After three rounds “Borz” stood as the winner by unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28).

The UFC president Dana White was more than impressed by Chimaev’s performance in the octagon.

”It was one of the best fights I ever seen. One of the coolest fights I ever been to,” UFC boss Dana White said on the post fight pressconference.

“When was the last time you saw a guy come out of nowhere, right, nobody knows who he is, comes out of nowhere, then fights a couple of fights and then fights the No. 2 ranked guy in the world and wins,” White said.

Dana White’s messege to the doubters: “Out of your mind”

The welterweight bout was awarded with the 50 000 dollar Fight of the Night bonus, and the impressed president had a message to anyone who stills doubt “Borz” after UFC 273.

“He is human. I mean, any asshole that said that doesn’t think the kid is human, he is a human being and he just beat the No. 2 ranked welterweight in the world in the UFC, with a couple of fights in the UFC. If you don’t think he is the real deal you are out of your mind,” White said.

The win over Burns was Khamzat’s fifth victory in the UFC and the Swedish superstar now has a record of eleven wins and no losses.
