Khamzat Chimaev and Gilbert Burns have been eager to fight each other for a while. However, they only exchanged words online with no official date in sight.

After virtually confirming that they are going to fight at the 4th UFC pay-per-view event of the year (UFC 273), both men had yet another back-and-forth.

Chimaev reminded ‘Durinho’ of the date of their match, “@GilbertDurinho 9 April.” 

However, Burns, who is not someone to duck an opportunity, fired a shot at the rising welterweight. He tweeted, “I’m ready! Make sure you get your visa ready! The hype will be over soon!”

At present, the Swede (10-0, 4-0 in the UFC with four finishes) is one of the most popular MMA fighters in the fraternity and boasts millions of followers across all social media platforms.

Does Khamzat Chimaev have a YouTube channel?

Yes, Khamzat Chimaev has a YouTube channel that goes by his name. He recently joined YouTube in a bid to soar his popularity with the medium of content.

‘Borz’ has been pretty successful in it as well. Just in a week after the launch of his YouTube channel, ‘The Lone Wolf’ was able to amass over 50 thousand subscribers on the platform.
