This is just a fight where one one specialist has a advantage over another. Gilbert Burns grappling is far superior to and elite compared to Kunchenko muay thai boxing.
Alexey Kunchenko first two fights in the UFC went the distance with two fighters with too many miles on their body, Thiago Alves and Yushin Okami who are both fade material at this point . Gilbert Burns is a grappler with a 2nd degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and has won a gold medal in the 2011 World Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Championships, he stay very active between MMA fights. He has one KO loss to Dan Hooker but Hooker is a beast. Alexey Kunchenko is 36 and i'm just not impressed by the older kickboxers who try to transition to UFC level MMA.

Like Rogan says "there are levels to this" one the fight is on the ground there is no way Kunchenko can win.
