Gilbert Burns says Dana White has promised him a “big fight” next following war with Khamzat Chimaev

Gilbert Burns will be getting a big fight his next time out.

At UFC 273, Burns took the risk of fighting rising star Khamzat Chimaev, this despite being ranked much higher than ‘Borz’. The fight ended up being much closer than many anticipated, with the Swede edging out a close decision victory.  While it was ultimately a losing effort for ‘Durinho’, Dana White was so impressed by his performance that he paid Burns his win bonus.
