Gilbert Burns Apologizes for Accusing Jorge Masvidal of Greasing at UFC 287 Fight

Gilbert Burns has apologized after previously accusing Jorge Masvidal of greasing during their UFC 287 fight last Saturday.

"To be honest, I was in the moment right after the fight," Burns told Damon Martin of MMA Fighting. "I think I made a mistake accusing the guy of doing that.

"Right now, Jorge is done, he's not fighting anymore. I don't want be the guy pointing fingers and making excuses for the fight. I just want to make that statement—I want to apologize to Jorge, the things that I said, accusing him of using. I still think he was more slippery than usual but I cannot say that he did that, pointing fingers.
