UFC 273 Reaction: Chimaev Is the Real Deal, Aljo Puts on a Clinic & Volkanovski’s Featherweight GOAT Push

To begin today's show, Chael offers his immediate reactions to UFC 273 from Saturday night. He discusses what Khamzat Chimaev's slugfest win over Gilbert Burns tells us about the young phenom, how Aljamain Sterling turned in one of the best performances in bantamweight history (9:28), and how Alexander Volkanovski overcame an impressive mental hurdle against The Korean Zombie (18:02). Then, Chael talks about Volkanovski's path to stardom, as well as how Kamaru Usman might be feeling about Chimaev's rise (42:02).Presented by: DraftKings*Special thanks: Factor*If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, crisis counseling and referral services can be accessed by calling 1-800-GAMBLER (1-800-426-2537) (IL/IN/MI/NJ/PA/WV/WY), 1-800-NEXT STEP (AZ), 1-800-522-4700 (CO/NH), 888-789-7777/visit http://ccpg.org/chat  (CT), 1-800-BETS OFF (IA), 1-877-770-STOP (7867) (LA), 877-8-HOPENY/text HOPENY (467369) (NY), visit OPGR.org (OR), call/text TN REDLINE 1-800-889-9789 (TN), or 1-888-532-3500 (VA).21+ (18+ WY).
