Pichel and Madsen have the potential to combine for an explosive opener. And I am going to be better in the cage than I was last time.” “I mirrored a lot of my wrestling style in college from Ben Askren. I watched a lot of videos and broke down a lot of his tapes. I took a lot of notes and went to the wrestling room to try to re-enact the way he would troubleshoot positions. I need to be better than I was last time.” “Every single guy he’s fought isn’t my caliber, doesn’t have the same power in their hands or the experience,” Burns told Sports Illustrated last week. Wrestling is the key for Aljamain Sterling in the bantamweight title unification bout. “I refuse to take the foot off the pedal,” Volkanovski said. I’m here to test myself and keep climbing.” “I’m here to be better than I was yesterday,” Volkanovski said.

Analyzing Saturday's UFC 273 odds and lines between Gilbert Burns vs. Khamzat Chimaev, with MMA picks, tips and predictions.

CHIMAEV IN ROUND 2 (+320) and CHIMAEV IN ROUND 3 (+1100) is worth a look. If Chimaev wins in Rounds 2 or 3, you will lose one end, but be well ahead, especially if he has his arm raised after a Round 3 victory. As such, play CHIMAEV BY KO/TKO (-102) at near even money rather than Chimaev by submission. The latter looks more attractive since Chimaev also has two wins via tap, however, Burns is 8-0 via submission in his pro career, and he has a solid ground game defense.

The fight starts to take a turn in the third round and the Russian takes over in the striking and keeps the fight off of the ground. The Russian cleanly win the last three rounds to earn a decision win in the rematch. Yan started to take over later in the fight and it was clear the fight was his. The Russian has plenty in his arsenal and he’ll look to keep the fight standing. Sterling will have to go all-in early in order to find the finish. Petr Yan is a huge favorite in this fight and it has a lot to do with how dominant he was in the first fight.

Petr Yan and Aljamain Sterling will finally reconvene this Saturday at the co-main event of UFC 273 for their highly anticipated rematch…

Sterling came out firing with high volume and Yan started slow in their first match, and this discrepancy in output may have been a factor in how the fight went in later rounds.

Petr “No Mercy” Yan has been relentless in his efforts to reclaim the division crown and in his trolling of Sterling since their first fight. - Line: Petr Yan (-490) and Aljamain Sterling (+360); Over 4.5 rounds (-130) and under 4.5 rounds (+100); odds fromDraftkings Sportsbook.

Former UFC bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw will be paying close attention to the UFC 273 main event.

I wanted to be here, I wanted to see the fight. If things play out to his expectation and Yan wins the fight, Dillashaw said he’ll be ready to challenge for the strap later this year. So, I think that would be a good time. I mean, to be honest, he would probably have to submit him. Dillashaw said he’ll be firmly planted in his cageside seat for Sterling and Yan to rematch. In three weeks I should be 100 percent, so perfect timing to let these guys figure out who the champ’s gonna be and for me to get my belt back.”

Khamzat Chimaev has established himself as the most mysterious prospect in the UFC right now. Chan Sung Jung (+475, bet $100 to win $475)—featherweight title bout He landed seven takedowns in the first fight and should feel more comfortable with Sterling's style in this second fight. The Russian is a large favorite after losing the first fight by disqualification. After all, his nickname is Zombie, and he's waded through plenty of punishment to earn it. While he should be able to win wherever the fight takes place against Zombie, it will be difficult to get the finish. It's the likes of Conor McGregor, Max Holloway and Jose Aldo. Those are just the top three fights on a card that really has talent and intrigue scattered throughout. Aljamain Sterling will look to show that his disqualification win over Petr Yan was no fluke in a rematch for the bantamweight championship. The two will meet in the main event of UFC 273.

The UFC featherweight and bantamweight titles are on the line in Jacksonville, Florida as MMASucka brings you UFC 273 results.

In his last two fights before meeting Sterling, Yan finished Urijah Faber by knockout at UFC 245 to set up a vacant title matchup with Jose Aldo at UFC 251 in which Yan also finished by TKO to win the belt. Chimaev will be entering the fight undefeated at 10-0, 4-0 since he joined the UFC in 2020. The loss happened during Dern’s first UFC main event as Marina Rodriguez defeated her by unanimous decision at UFC Vegas 39. After missing his chance at a title shot in his fight with Ortega, Jung looks to make the most of the position he is in now following Holloway’s injury as he has been granted a title shot that was maybe still one or two wins away. Since then, he has picked up a TKO win over Danillo Belluardo in his debut, followed by back-to-back decision wins over Austin Hubbard and Clay Guida. The next win was another first round TKO finish as he defeated former UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar in their main event at UFC Fight Night 165. A rematch was scheduled for soon after their first fight however Sterling was forced out of that fight because of problems he was having with his neck following a procedure. In his first fight back, he knocked out Dennis Bermudez in round one of their main event at UFC Fight Night 104. Inching closer to a title shot coming off those two wins, Jung was matched up with Brian Ortega in his next fight at UFC Fight Night 180. As he looks to defend his title for the third time, it will be no easy task as he takes on a tough opponent. When the season was over, Volkanovski and Ortega met at UFC 266 where Volkanovski was able to successfully defend his title for the second time, defeating Ortega by unanimous decision. Overall, Volkanovski holds a record of 23-1 as he has not lost since 2013, winning his last twenty in a row since that one loss.

Two major title fights will take place April 10 at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, when the UFC returns to Florida with UFC 273. The main event will be Australia's Alexander Volkanovski vs. "The Korean Zombie" Chan Sung Jung for the ...

Ian Garry def. That's probably close to what just happened, with Madsen remaining perfect after a wrestle-centric three rounds. Round 3: They go the distance with Torres turning the tide in the third with a heel kick off the ground and some looping overhand rights. Round 2: This is more what we expected: Dern all over Torres like the cheapest of court appearance suits. Round 2: That could have been Burns' round and the first round in Chimaev's UFC career that he's lost. A heck of a way to start this fi--- the round isn't over! Herb Dean has seen enough and calls it off - yet Zombie is still on his feet! How is this fight third on the bill? This is Yan's round but, probably, he'll need a finish to get the belt back - especially with that possible 10-8 in round 2 from Sterling. Sterling's corner is giving instructions that sound dangerously like, "fire truck him cup". Round 4: Despite it being Aljo's domain, Yan gets top position and doesn't relinquish it to get the fight back to the feet. It's all body triangle from Sterling Yan rolls and gets flattened out for a few seconds, but rolls back over again. Round 3: Volkanovski continues, picking off the Zombie with a combination of jabs, body shots and the occasional takedown attempt.

Mackenzie Dern defeated Tecia Torres by split decision in a closely contested bout, doing just enough in the first two rounds to secure the victory. This fight ...

This was a fight that was right there for Pichel (14–3), who entered the bout having won three in a row and seven of his last eight. The card also features a bantamweight unification title bout pitting Aljamain Sterling against Petr Yan. This fight features an unparalleled backstory, as Yan intentionally injured Sterling in their last fight and has shown no remorse for nearly ending his career. But the fight with the most intrigue will be third from last, with Khamzat Chimaev seeking to continue bulldozing his way through the UFC’s welterweight division. Torres was in a bad place for almost the entire second round, but found new life in the third after landing an up kick to Dern’s face. So this fight ending in a unanimous decision seems awfully hard to believe, especially considering Burns won the second round in lopsided fashion. Torres (13–6) has never been finished as an MMA pro, though that came precariously close to changing in the second round when Dern (12–2) applied her kimura. Yet Burns survived the onslaught, then did damage to Chimaev in the second round. This TKO victory was a clinic for Volkanovski (24–1). Referee Herb Dean made the right call in stopping the fight, and he could have even called for a stoppage sooner. This was the only fight of the main card not to end by decision, and the performance further highlights Volkanovski’s brilliance. Yan came out furiously in the fourth, shifting his approach to control the round with ground-and-power. Pichel (14–3) looked his best in the second round, but he delivered no substantial offense in the final five minutes. The win is certainly important for Chimaev, but he likely needs one more win before he earns himself a title shot.

Chimaev and Burns may well have put on the Fight of the Year on Saturday night in Jacksonville.

"I wanted to be 11-0 with 11 finishes. Chimaev popped back up to land a huge combination before a brawl ensued with Chimaev soon bleeding from his nose. "I go against the odds, I don't care. I won't stop." Just 15 months after he lost a shot at Kamaru Usman's welterweight title despite dropping the defending champion, the 35-year-old Burns routinely answered the huge strikes of Chimaev in order to hold his ground. This is just what I do for work to make money.

At UFC 273, Khamzat Chimaev defeated Gilbert Burns via unanimous decision in a dramatic welterweight bout.

With the victory, Chimaev continues rocketing up the UFC ladder toward a title. Burns was widely-regarded as a leap up in competition for "Borz," who has now won all five of his UFC fights inside the distance. As the final horn sounded, Chimaev laid on top of Burns but wouldn't let go. Burns shoved him off and Chimaev landed an open-hand slap - all after the horn. Another giant Burns punch floored Chimaev to the canvas. The first round played out as many of Chimaev's fights have in the past.

UFC 273's main card saw Khamzat Chimaev defeat Gilbert Burns in a thriller. Stars across social media offered their thoughts on the action-packed fight.

Burns/Chimaev #UFC273" The Rock a.k.a Dwyane Johnson Chimaev drew blood in the first round, but Burns rebounded in the second with some huge shots of his own. Phenom Khamzat Chimaev faced perhaps his toughest challenge yet in Gilbert Burns Saturday night.

Jung, the beloved South Korean brawler nicknamed "The Korean Zombie," replaced Max Holloway in January after the former champion pulled out of his trilogy bout ...

Lead right from Jung lands before the horn. Volkanovski is trying to land the big one. R2: Big jab from the champion. 10-9 Volkanovski Volkanovski jumps on top and flurries big but the Zombie survives. Although Volkanovski acknowledged after that a trilogy against Holloway could still be in the cards, he sent a message to the rest of the division. Subscribe to Morning Kombat with Luke Thomas and Brian Campbell for the best analysis and in-depth news, including an instant reaction at the conclusion of the PPV event. I will have to think on that." He mixed in calf strikes beautifully with punching combinations and routinely buzzed or dropped Jung with nearly every big power shot. "I told you all before this fight that I am on another level now and can't be stopped," Volkanovski said. Although Jung set a record for the most time passed between title fights after trying unsuccessfully in 2013 to unseat Jose Aldo, he was simply never in the fight against Volkanovski. If there was any disappointment in having to face a late replacement as an opponent on Saturday, Alexander Volkanovski never showed it.

Who will the standouts from UFC 273 fight next? Brett Okamoto plays matchmaker.

She doesn't need to get to a title fight in 2022. Yan is a scary opponent, and Cruz would have to be perfect. It was a close fight that could have gone either way, but the UFC is not about to run it back again. He was willing to take the fight the rest of the division didn't want in Chimaev, and he very nearly pulled it off as a significant underdog. There are a lot of moving parts in all of this, and I don't know if Burns and Usman would ever fight again, unless there were a title on the line. But Chimaev looked human in this fight, and Covington is one of the best in the world. If Edwards loses to Usman, this makes a ton of sense -- although I will say, I think the UFC would take a close look at Edwards vs. He accepted all of that, and put on one of the best performances of his career, even in a loss. The UFC is looking at a return to England this summer. A part of me hates to see them fight because one has to lose and then you lose a potential title challenger. But Allen is still looking to build his profile, and a fight against Jung would do that. Jung is 35 and says he still has a little left in the tank.

The UFC handed out four post-fight bonuses after Saturday's card, including for an early Fight of the Year candidate.

And though Chimaev seemed to stay in control in the first round, Burns came alive in the second and hit Chimaev with some punches the likes of which he probably had never been hit with before. Volkanovski kept the pressure on and landed enough punches on the feet to get Herb Dean to stop it. Vanderaa went to the canvas with Oleinik, which may have been a bit of a surprise.

Khamzat Chimaev is still undefeated, but he is clearly not invincible. The Chechen-born Swede returned to the UFC's Octagon in the middle bout of the UFC ...

Now we know he can take a hard shot. And while all three scored the fight in Chimaev's favor, it was clear as the decision was being read that something had changed. But we didn't know how he'd respond when the early finish failed to materialize. Given the way both men were fighting, it was frankly shocking that the judges were required, but that's the way it happened. Entering the fight, the widespread belief was that Chimaev would slice through his more experienced foe, whether he got the job done by way of knockout or submission. Despite their dwindling energy reserves, the pair continued to fight with extreme intensity for the entirety of that final round, pelting each other with punches that most likely would have stopped lesser fighters in their tracks.

Alexander Volkanovski mauled Chan Sung Jung at UFC 273, earning a TKO seconds into the fourth round to retain the featherweight belt.

But the 32-year-old Torres (13-6) escaped two submission holds and was impressive over the final five minutes to nearly upset the fifth-ranked woman in the strawweight division. Yan (16-3) battled back in the final two rounds, doing enough to get a split decision. With her husband and young daughter sitting cage side, Dern dominated the second round thanks to a variety of Brazilian jiu-jitsu moves. It was Chimaev’s most impressive outing to date and proved he’s a potential championship contender. But he was considerably quicker than Jung, essentially putting on a clinic in mixed martial arts. Jung, better known as ‘the Korean Zombie’, was battered, bloodied and struggling to breathe after the first three rounds.

It was a breathtaking and fast-paced battle and showed Chimaev belongs in the upper ranks of the welterweights.

Chimaev had a more difficult time than he did in his first four UFC wins, but he proved he can beat an elite foe.

Will anyone ever steal the show from the 27-year-old Chechnya-born Swede? If he does end up in the cage with Covington, as the UFC would like, Chimaev (11-0) would surely be a crowd favorite, but what would the oddsmakers say? Chimaev clearly had proved to them that he belongs in the top tier. Saturday was a big night for fighters proving their worthiness of the exalted place they already hold in the sport. All champions in all divisions are called upon to prove themselves every time -- but for Sterling the demand was more so. He dropped Burns with a crisp jab, and from top position on the canvas he dropped punches and elbows, one of which opened a cut on the Brazilian's head. He even looked ahead to Chimaev's next one, saying that if the Chechnya-born Swede defeated Burns, the UFC would try to book him against Covington on a rare network TV show. When UFC president Dana White went on SiriusXM radio to promote the pay-per-view, he spoke just a little about Alexander Volkanovski's main event featherweight title defense against Chan Sung Jung. He said not a word about the co-main bantamweight title bout between champ Aljamain Sterling and former champ Petr Yan. Instead, White spent much of his time talking about Chimaev, "somebody that people are very excited about." And despite Burns' lofty credentials and Chimaev's relative inexperience at a high level, many had no hesitation in predicting a Chimaev win. Standing across the cage from Chimaev on Saturday was a fighter on a whole different level. This time he was in a competitive fight. Burns had been bloodied and beaten down in a brutal opening round, but he had survived. A 124-2 edge in total strikes in his UFC debut.

The UFC handed out four post-fight bonuses after Saturday's card, including for an early Fight of the Year candidate.
