Former UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker shared his prediction for the upcoming welterweight division bout between Gilbert Burns and Shawn Brady.

The Brazilian and the American will meet in the main event of UFC Fight Night 242, which takes place on the night of September 8 in Las Vegas, USA.

"Actually, Gilbert was good in his fight with Maddalena. I'm curious to see how he does against Sean Brady, who is a pretty tough fighter. However, it should be said that Burns hits like a truck. Also, in my opinion, Gilbert is one of the greatest grapplers in MMA history. He's phenomenal in that aspect.

In the Belal fight, Burns was injured in the first round, so the fight was a tough one for him. In the Jack Della Maddalena fight, he seemed to be winning until he was shaken up. In terms of who I would risk putting money on in this fight, it would be Gilbert," Bloody Elbow quoted the Australian as saying.
