But, none of them had the hype and anticipations behind their name like Khamzat Chimaev has with only 4 fights in his UFC career.

Khamzat Chimaev has destroyed his four UFC opponents so far with ease and is one win away from the prestigious UFC title shot.

But, there are fans in the MMA world, who are not convinced with the hype behind Khamzat Chimaev.

Many even believe Gilbert Burns is going to expose holes in Khamzat Chimaev's arsenal at UFC 273.

Well, Chimaev has a befitting response to his opponents and critics who claims that he is overrated.

In the UFC countdown video for UFC 273, Khamzat Chimaev addresses the critics and said: "People say "He's Hype". Just top me. I respect his skills and everything. One of the best guys but not my level. The King is coming for you guys. Watch the king."

[{"selector":"#anim-38cc72b7-1962-4091-9b00-ae92096efa93 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-37.26873181514674%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-84fbda6a-a853-4f62-9aaa-803b151525db","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":2000,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Khamzat Chimaev's size and strength are certainly a problem for any UFC welterweight including the dominant champion, Kamaru Usman.

[{"selector":"#anim-24ed2a2d-98ac-45ac-ba1a-fda3ae003d30 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-33.580179554472586%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-43cb4b5b-811e-4336-a571-b1c0e8ee0d04","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":2000,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

However, Burns' submission skills and his knockout power should give Chimaev a tougher test than any of his last MMA fights.
