Andreas Michael was not happy with Khamzat Chimaev ’s approach against Gilbert Burns at UFC 273. Chimaev (11-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC) got off to a good start against Burns in Saturday’s pay-per-view main card when he dropped him with a jab. But after Round 1, a game Burns turned it into a dog fight and forced Chimaev to dig deep. Chimaev obliged, trading punches in a back-and-forth brawl which resulted in both men getting dropped. Visibly upset, Michael was seen screaming at his star pupil and the All Stars Gym Sweden head coach revealed what he told Chimaev at the end of Round 2 in an Instagram post: “People ask me what i told Khamza end of round 2 this is what i told him ”stop brawling stop having a street fight use your straight punchs and keep it Easy, this is an Easy fight if you dont brawl all you have to do is keep him on your jab and have patience. Dont make it harder than it has to be” Nothing else was needed just fast jab and sometimes a straight right keeping your distance reach, to not get hit with the hooks.
