Chimaev has no choice but to bring the octagon pressure from second 1 of the fight "I was saying long time I gonna come for everybody. I kill everybody. You believe me now? I told you I'm gonna kill" The guy spars with sean strickland so you know he is not rattled by being hit. Burns will be the smaller fighter by a weight class come fight day. When Chimaev faught Meerschaert a grappler he went strait for his boxing and 17 seconds later it was over. I making the assumption that Chimaev is going to want to keep this on the feet with a massive height and reach advantage.
I think Chimaev will come out ultra aggressive, I think Burns will want to make a statement after being disresepected at the betting window and has to take this fight to the ground as fast as possible to win and show off his jiu jitsu. Both are cardo machines that's the biggest weekness in this bet.
I also think people are over looking Chimaev freestyle wrestling record, Chimaev timing is incredible. Burns to go for broke in this fight or he will just be remembered as a stepping stone to the next GOAT. Kamarudeen Usman KOed Burns so Chimaev has to do better to keep the train to the belt going. Dan Hooker KOed Burns and I think Chimaev boxing is way better, Chimaev has the most underrated uppercup in MMA.
