Now, who isn’t a fan of Gilbert Burns? After all, the man knocked down the Chechen wolf, Khamzat Chimaev, spinning his head around like a racket, giving us one hell of a fight. In fact, the Brazilian is known for his wars and the never-say-die attitude.

But as we reach 2024, Burns is already struggling to keep his body in fighting shape at the age of 38. During a Tuesday video call to The Post, Burns explained,

“It’s kind of hard right now to keep my body 100 percent healthy. I’m getting a little bit more injured, so I gotta slow down my pace. I gotta train, but then I gotta do a lot more recovery.”
