#GilbertBurns #UFC273 - Sport
Dude trains his ass off, big respect.
Yes big respect for him but it's all gonna be in vain. Khamzat gonna submit him in round 1.
@Dingle berry McDo i don’t understand how you could it’s easy fight when this guy dropped Usman
@Dingle berry McDo what??? Round 1
U can't train the chin and the heart. Khamzat in 1
@Dingle berry McDo ur prediction may be correct but Gilbert is much better and healthier at 170
Accepting the fight and fighter no one wants, already whooped half of this division, world jiu jitsu champion and training his ass off, giving everything he has… Burns is a beast! Just respect for this man! VAMO DURINHO!
He’s getting smoked by Khamzat
Neil Magny has been calling for this fight since 2020 consistently
What division? Lots of respect for taking this fight but let's be honest here, he only has one win against a current top 15 at WW so he certainly didn't whoop half the division
@@peterbadal3028 nobody gives a fuck about Neil Magny in 2022. The difference is also that Burns actually has a decent chance to stop the Khamzat hype. Khamzat has solid wrestling but what about his chin? His chin hasn't been tested yet and Burns can crack. If he can take some shots and finish him, i would say he is legit. But Gilbert also has a sus chin and Khamzat hasn't beat any high level BJJ guy, so it's that perfect fight where anything can happen.
Does Gilbert have 10 full time trainers on his payroll? If so RIP his fight cheque on Saturday
Training paid off, best fight of the year all because of this man's conditioning and willingness to win. It sucks he didn't win but I'm 100% sure he won alot of fans tonight
He gave a good fight And humbled chimaev
I'm not sure how UFC scoring system works, but I would honestly score that fight a draw. 1st round KZ, second Burns and third is equal
I'm definitely a fan now.
@@DoesThisWork888 nah man all the big experts are agreeing on this one
Honestly if he didn’t get dropped in the 1st he won
Bro if you train MMA you know how this type of workouts feel, (no breaks) your mind wants to keep going but your body just won’t respond. This is a bad man. Respect.
You don't though.
@@Jack-ur7mq anyone whose done HIT/circuit training workouts at least has an idea of what its like tho, very intense. Burns takes it to another level tho, he's doing all that with the pressure of a deadline as well as no food or water
@@Jack-ur7mq d rider
Bro if you're conditioned, it's the other way around bro. It's not body over matter bro
@@Jack-ur7mq why doesnt he? Lmfao u 🤡
Makes you realize how elite these fighters are and how out of shape you are, what a beast.
Edit: Egos are being hurt. Out of shape relative to these elite fighters***
That’s precisely why pro athletes HAVE to take steroids and other PEDs to recover from such brutal training
@@yeshuasage3724 how did you come up with this one
@@BoneThxgz its the reality, you think you cant train like this, recover and maintain/build muscle at the same time natrually... doesn't work like that bud

@@BenDover-fc9df It is just sick to cheer for khamzat, khamzat is pure evil like Bane, ofcourse burns cant put him down neither can usman which is sick to watch, I hope there is somebody who can put khamzat down drop him
@@ramesh1383 keep hoping
@The GigaChad 99
For people wondering about the push up form: hes not going for strength but endurance in his triceps and core. It's about time under tension, being able to produce force for a set period of time without stopping.
Interesting. Got to try them push ups like that some day.
@@ChimpReyes How about right now
thats interesting and does make sense. I was indeed wondering!
Syke!!! Okay just saw the form he's gonna get knocked the fuck out
If it’s about time under tension you go deep stop pretending you know what you are talking about
I watch this video before all of my workouts now. Sometimes even during. The feeling of looking forward to putting in the work but also not really looking forward to it is so real, especially on an intense day. So the fact that Gilbert feels what I feel and still shows up and does it anyways does a lot for me
Facts!
I've ran 3 ultramarathons (2 50ks and 50-miler) but I don't just think it's harder than this, it's also a different type of difficulty. Big respect to this guy for stepping in the octagon with Khamzat
Kudos on completing those Ultras!
@@M3Lucky thanks bro I appreciate it
Imagine watching this footage and genuinely thinking you can destroy this guy in a fight. The confidence these dudes have is insane.
Im pretty sure they have their doubts, but they push it to the back of their mind because the second it comes to the surface and doubt is all they can think about its a wrap. They also have to push themselves mentally, which is probably harder than the physical stuff.
Theyre definitely built different
its not khamzats first fight tho. and if you look back on his entire fighting career in mma or in wrestling, it's all he's ever done, to EVERY. SINGLE. OPPONENT. i can't imagine not having that mindset, when all you know, is utter domination of your opponents. In his mind, he cannot be stopped, because he hasn't been.
Khamzat said he doesn't focus about what his opponents can do..he only thinks about what he can do to his opponents
Chimaev has supreme confidence in his abilities and he doesn't care about his opponents, but I do believe his coaches will study his opponents and train him accordingly
@@mohamedmusthafa4359 Of course he cares about his opponents abilities, otherwise he wouldn't be a good fighter. MMA is a thinking man's game.
Nothing but respect for Burns. Win or lose he gave 100% in training and I hope he shows that on the day of fight as well.
The training is there, not the mentality, the moment he said "I'm excited but not really" yeah he knows what's coming he's heard about it and that's all he needs to put that fear in to him, he lost before even stepping in to the cage
@@713JL that makes no sense
@@713JL I thought he was just talking about the workout in front of him that day
100% he loses unfortunately.
@@bruceberry1384 he was talking about that workout not fight
Absolute animal. Prime example of hard work and dedication. My favorite fighter hands down.

UNBELIEVABLE! It's gotta take everything inch of passion to love a gruelling session like this. Respect!
Whatching Fighters lose hurts even more when you see them go through stuff like this. They put absolute everything into it!
fans dont understand that
Jon Jones would say otherwise
facts man
I dont know why you think he completely lost, he put up a great fight, explosed Chimaev was not invincible, gained a lot of respect, made a lot of money + bonuses.
@@missionpupa I completely agree. I wrote this before the fight. My comment is just about fighters in general. They sacrafice so much to get ready despite not always getting the result.
Cannot wait for this fight

Imagine waking up every day knowing this is only a small part of your training, you gotta be a fucking warrior and deserve all the respect
Wait ? This is only a small part ???? That’s crazy I thought it was the actual work out
@@tuilleri i mean, he has to Spar, train wrestling/ grappling, train striking, a pobably does strenght training to
@@tuilleri They cant show everything they do for obvious reasons but yes thats a fact. These guys are all pro athletes conditioned. I mean look at Paddy and how he changes his body in a short span of time and with all the stress involved. Nothing but respect.
@@tuilleri only SMALL part, that is crazy fact
@@tuilleri you thought 15 minutes was the actual workout? Most elite athletes train twice a day for 3-4 hours in total
Damn if khamzat beats a guy like this.. he deserves the hype. Burns is looking like a new man
Lol! He's treating this like the fight of his life.Everyone knows Khamzat is something else.Whens the last time an eleventh ranked fighter was a -550 favorite over #2 in the world?
No he isn't, he's probably been doing this for a decade
@@user-mw2vn7pv8n If he's doing this intense of a training, why they are showing the clip now? More or less, it should be shown when he was going to fight Usman for the title. It just shows nobody is taking Khamzat lightly. Only thing they got in hand that could possibly beat Khamzat is the fact that he isn't that experienced right now or that he doesn't know the taste of defeat as of yet.
@@PrabirTa I'm sure he has training footage somewhere. They're showing it now because they can, plenty of martial artists train like this too. Also I love how it doesn't even cross your mind that Burns might just be better than him, doesn't seem very reasonable.
@@user-mw2vn7pv8n exactly
Great fight for Gilbert. Showed Khamzat how tough the top guys are compared to the guys coming up. Gilbert’s a warrior, much respect
I like that he shows his struggle and his hard work when training I admire that.I'm a huge fan of him, nice to see this can't wait to see him grow.
Insane muscle conditioning! And never made a sound! Unreal mental and physical toughness! So impressed with Gilbert! Love this guy!

@@cromdaleblvd4677 lmao...no.
Elite level training is pain. It is also very much team effort, from the coaches and supporters who help a fighter get to where he is. Deep respect for all the hard work, blood, sweat and tears it takes behind the scenes to prepare for a single major fight.
No shit Sherlock
@@jerryjuliangutierrez7536 lol
or maybe youre just making excuses.. hey they all started somewhere, in same shoes as you.. but they never gave up, went through learning and losing experiences and prevailed and figured it out to get to next level

Its cause there lazy or making excuse..
Gilbert Burns looks like Devin Booker if he was stung by thousands of bees
How can you not respect these guys man. Absolutely incredible.
I swear after the fight people talk so casually and so much trash about these guys that put in so much work. I guess that's part of the game tho 🤷🏾♂
He's thinking I wish I was fighting in a cage for 25 minutes rather than this. lol
Hahaha facts bro this shit looks like hell.shows what it takes to be top level and this is just conditioning haha
@@goldmindsetmma6242 This shit ain't for the average Joe that's for sure.

And the simple fact couch potatoes constantly disrespect these warriors… smh
Man I'll tell you one thing...hitting pads in the middle of all this must be exausting...but He is doing it like it's a break.
it definitely feels like a break after tensing your muscles so much with the previous exercises
@@4c00h Lmfao till you hit the pads several times in a row and it becomes just as bad in a different way

The push ups Got me😭😭😂

So impressive! Never doubt Gilbert's determination or his love for the UFC what a true professional!
This workout is crazy.. going to be hard to beat chimaev, but burns is doing all he can do for sure.. this is insane.
Khamzat hasn't fought anyone. You haven't even seen him get hit by a punch. I think people are under the illusion that he's untouchable bc they've never seen him be hit. Burns is no fucking joke. He's gonna hit Khamzat. I think this will be a war. And we will get our first taste of what Khamzat looks like against a top opponent.
He's doing 15% of pushup range of motion.. the easiest part of the move, the top

I met JC Santana here in BsAs, Argentina, more than ten years ago, learned a lot from him. His son Río was just a Kid, and now he's training Gilbert Burns! Wow 👏 Congrats to all JC Santana crew and of course to Gilbert Burns, such a great fighter 💪
This is the best type of MMA video. The Countdowns, and other behind the scene vids show bits and clips of these guys workouts. This shows the entire workout, no clips, no filters, just the raw grit of the work these guys put in. Awesome video..
I agree, this is the best type of MMA training video. No fancy video editing or any BS, just the real thing.
Really puts into perspective just what the fighters go through in training
Not enough tho
You have consider that most camps don't want to put it out there what theyre doing so I totally understand if an active fighter doesn't want to share anything it makes a lot of sense imo
Totally. Not enough raw content like this. Too much highlight.
That's when you see this is a team effort... You can't possibly push yourself like that alone! Credits to Burns and Burns' team. I hope the dedication will pay off. I have nothing against Borz but I really hope for Burns to get another chance against Usman, and to be champ at least once before he retires...
Chimaev can though
Usman must retire first! 😆
I worry for Burns that he peaked at the wrong time. I think Usman and Izzy are rooting for Burns for a reason. They must know Chimaev is threatening their reigns.
@@FindMe04 exactly, they are hoping that the hype train derails before it hits them
@@miguelinoz This sucks to watch either lose. I’d rather Khamzat win which he will I want him to win just to see him fight Izzy in the future hopefully lol

I love how Gilbert said whatever happens, it's going to be a war. A very refreshing take for an established elite fighter taking on a hyped newcomer, as they usually keep saying they are going to smoke them cos of how inexperienced or cocky they are, but you can clearly see Burns keeps it real 100% of the time.
That kind of attitude is what made Adesanya’s early opponents look horrible… calling him “skinny hyper train” and getting slept
There's a very good chance there won't be a war and that Burns ends up like GM3. Burns seems to be focused on wrestling and conditioning but khamzat will be looking at finishing the fight on the feet. If he knocked out cold a MW veteran that had never been ko'd unconscious before in 44 fights, he could definitely do it to a guy that has been KO'd before at LW

Man is putting himself in the best position to win. Hope the fight is a war it’d be dope to khamzat get a little tested
Watch out for the strikes. All the training means nothing with that one shot. Take cumshot very seriously and don't give into his best shots, don't let him set it up. Watch out for that strike.

Don’t be surprised if burns takes the W. The amount of disrespect thrown his way is crazy… this dude is a phenomenal.
so what if he gets destroyed? what does that mean Chimaev is? Burns is a beast but he's going to have to wrestle. once Chimaev gets ahold of burns he's going to ground and pound him.

This circuit is the most insane thing I’ve ever seen and I love it. I definitely would be puking after round 1 😅
That was painful to watch. No wonder this guy has cardio for days. Pure dedication and discipline. Respect!!!
Now this is cool, I love to see how they prepare and get in such shape.
Gilbert is one of the best fighters in MMA, good person also...Saludos Campeão
