Gilbert Burns is holding his head high following a decision loss to Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 273. The bout was lauded as an instant classic, and Burns clipped his opponent on multiple occasions during a back-and-forth slugfest but was unable to do enough to get the nod in the eyes of the cageside judges.

Burns released a couple statements on his social media, one via video and another that was written, both of which expressed positive sentiments in the face of defeat. “Thank you everybody for the wishes, everybody for the messages. It was a tough one,” Burns said in a video on his Instagram stories. “I mean, I had fun. It wasn’t the result that I wanted. But unfortunately, life’s like that.
