Barn Burns identifies Chimaev as the primary danger
In the world of mixed martial arts (MMA), opinions carry weight, especially when they come from experienced fighters like former UFC welterweight title contender Gilbert Burns. Burns, known for his impressive jiu-jitsu skills, has recently named Dutch professional MMA fighter Renny de Ridder as the biggest threat to current UFC middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev.
De Ridder, a former two-division champion in ONE Championship, has been making waves in the UFC's middleweight division. His impressive skills have not gone unnoticed, with Burns describing him as 'very good' and 'very big.' The Dutch fighter, also known as Reinier de Ridder, has trained with Burns and has been praised for his MMA prowess.
Burns' coach shares the sentiment, viewing de Ridder as a significant threat to Chimaev. This assessment comes after de Ridder gave Chimaev one of the toughest fights of his career, a fact that adds credibility to Burns' claims.
Meanwhile, in another corner of the MMA world, Sean O'Malley has commented on rumours of a potential bout with Song Yadong. The exact details of this potential match-up remain to be seen, but the anticipation is building among fans.
Elsewhere, Jorge Masvidal has reacted to Conor McGregor's refusal to run for President. Masvidal, a fellow UFC fighter, has not revealed his thoughts on the matter publicly.
In a separate development, featherweight contender Aiemann Zahabi, also known as Topuria, has promised to 'represent all MMA' in a hypothetical bout with Calvin Kattar. This promise, while not directly related to the middleweight division, underscores the competitive spirit that drives the MMA community.
As the middleweight division continues to evolve, the spotlight is squarely on Renny de Ridder. With Burns' backing, de Ridder is poised to make a significant impact in the division. Whether he will challenge Chimaev for the title remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: de Ridder is a threat that cannot be ignored.
These developments were reported by the Buiten de Kooi MMA Podcast. As the MMA world eagerly awaits the next big fight, fans can only speculate about the potential match-ups and the impact they may have on the sport.
