UFC 273 was a blast. Every fighter almost went on war. But the most heartthrobing match was definitely Khmazat Chmiaev vs Gilbert Burns. They both totally went on war and gave one hell of a show. They both were going very strong and in Chimaev’s whole career he never faced someone as Burns as he totally was going all-out. Volkanovski retained his title and also there was Aljamain Sterling vs. Peter Yan. So, below are the UFC 273 results.
On Saturday, Sterling (21-3) had the big smirk on Petr Yan (16-3) and all of his detractors, as he won a razor-thin split decision over Yan. The 135-pound title fight was the co-headliner of UFC 273 at VyStar Veteran’s Memorial Arena, and it was expected to put an end to any lingering debate from their first encounter in March 2021.
Nevertheless, other people scored the battle in Yan’s favor, therefore the debate may not be resolved. Sterling won 48-47 from two judges, while Yan won 48-47 from the third.
Winner: Aljamain Sterling

At VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena, the unbeaten Chimaev defeated Burns by unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28). It was a rocking rare fight, with both guys landing strikes that knocked the other out. It was a three-round struggle that was one of the finest UFC fights in recent years.
Also, this was the first time Chimaev had to go all 3 rounds as he had finished in all his matches. Still, Chimaev is undefeated and going strong, Even though Burns lost but both men must have respect for them as Chimaev after match said he never thought that Burns is tough and respect to him and also praised his native country Brazil.
Winner: Khamzat Chimaev
