​​Our fight experts, Zane Simon & Mookie Alexander are back to breakdown the UFC 273: ‘Volkanovski vs The Korean Zombie’ PPV event. The guys have hot takes, possible next fights, as well as reactions to the overall event. The UFC showcased a World Championship Doubleheader this weekend at their UFC 273 PPV event. The first title fight in our Main Event was a collision between UFC Featherweight Champion, Alexander ‘The Great’ Volkanovksi, defending his belt against contender, #4 ranked, Chan Sung Jung - ‘The Korean Zombie’. In our 2nd title fight of the night, we had “The Funkmaster’ Aljamain Sterling, holding a 20-3 record, fighting out of Uniondale, N.Y. He intended to solidify is claim as the UFC BW Champion, after his DQ victory over Yan to capture the belt last year against the #11 ranked men’s pound-for-pound fighter. Yan’s game plan was to win back the belt in an honest victory. Just prior to the co-main event we saw WWs Gilbert ‘Durinho’ Burns vs. phenom Khamzat Chimaev GO. TO. WAR! Neither of these guys knows how to put on a boring fight. Burns, the Brazilian native from Rio was fighting out of FL, holding the distinction of being ranked #2 in the division, as a former title contender; with a storied career record of 20-4. Fan favorite, #11 ranked Russian finisher, Khamzat ‘Borz’ Chimaev, fighting out of Sweden with an undefeated 10-0 record walking into the Octagon tonight, had his sights set on inevitably becoming champion, after getting Burns and any other comers out of his way. Overall, this now 12-bout card saw 2 1st Rd finishes, 2 KO/TKO’s, 1 sub, & 9 decisions, 2 split. Rounding things out, our fighters who were awarded for putting forth BONUS efforts were: Alexander Volkanovski, Alexei Oleinik - POTN, Gilbert Burns vs. Khamzat Chimaev - FOTN.
