Final Words
This will be an interesting fight to speculates where two impressive grapplers will face each other. Both Usman and Burns are known for their superior Wrestling capabilities. In terms of Jiu-jitsu and grappling techniques, Burns will get a slight advantage. But Usman has his wrestling as his tramp card against Burns’s takedown attempt.
Many MMA fans believe it will be Usman‘s toughest fight after Colby Covington. In that fight, if Usman hadn’t TKO Covington in the fifth round (last minute) and the result goes to a decision, the result of the fight can favour both of them.
It will be an acid test for Kamaru Usman to defend his belt against a grappler like Gilbert Burns.
