Gilbert Burns, a former contender for the UFC welterweight belt, spoke out about a possible fight with Jorge Masvidal.
“Nothing has been confirmed yet. There is a lot of talk about a duel with Masvidal, and he verbally agreed. I did it too. The UFC is determined with a date, so far there is none. We were close to the fight in November, but it could be December or January. At least I know that I have a rival. Now we just need to know the date. The number one option was to fight at the MSG arena in November, but Masvidal refused to fight on that date. Now we are talking about December or January. I can wait 20 days to fight in Brazil. I am looking forward to the opportunity to perform in the Brazilian card. Masvidal returns from defeat. He lost to Kamar Usman and Colby Covington but was not eliminated. He lost to the top two fighters in the division, so I don't underestimate him. It will be a good, exciting fight. We are both coming back after defeats, and I want to blow his head off, ”said the Brazilian.
Recall that in his last fight, Burns lost by decision to Khamzat Chimaev.
