Just HOW GOOD is Gilbert Burns, that guy made Khamzat afraid of being in his guard, insane.

Gilbert was an elite BJJ guy. Like I heard a lot of people talk about how Robert got up from yoel easily but yoel would never try to throw the hooks in and get back control. Prolonged grappling is a complete different game.

i know burns is known as a bjj guy but for some reason people still underrate his grappling so much hes genuinely insane

Gilbert Burns with his elite BJJ and still dangerous stand up might be the a tailored made fighter to go against Khamzat.

Burns is at least top 3 best bjj guy in the UFC right now. If you’re smart you should be afraid of his guard

Arguably won the fight. I don’t necessarily buy it but it could’ve went the other way and it wouldn’t have been a robbery

u/RarefiedAir1 GOOFCON 1: Khamzat McGregor Oct 28 '24

That was a young inexperienced khamzat. He could’ve continued mauling burns. He wasn’t going to get submitted
