Burns notes that Chimaev was once considered one of the best fighters in the world, thanks to his unmatched aura and skills. However, Chimaev suffered his first UFC defeat to Sean Strickland recently, which has left him unsure of his future in the promotion. Burns suggests that Chimaev needs a solid team and stability with his coaches to bounce back and compete for multiple titles. \"The guy I fought had this solid general,\" Burns adds, referring to the fighter's previous coaching team. Burns is optimistic about Chimaev's potential, stating that the fighter just needs a good team and the right mindset to return to championship-level competition.",
