Gilbert Burns may have received his win bonus following his epic clash with Khamzat Chimaev at this past weekend's UFC 273, but "Durinho" wants to make it known that's absolutely not the same as actually getting a win.
"I'm very critical of myself," Burns told MMA Underground. "I think if I had done a little bit more stuff – such as calf kicks, body kicks when he switched stance, calf kicks when he was orthodox, freaking head movement that I trained so much and didn't do as planned – I think I could have got the win.
"I was the one that threw more shots in the last round, but I got hurt in the last round. I got hurt for a moment. I remember I was very wobbly, and then he gave me another shot that kind of rolled me up, and then I got back and I was throwing a lot of bombs, but I liked it, like every time I've been in there. For sure, I hate to lose. I think I've made that clear a couple times. But yeah, I like to be in there."
