Gilbert Burns apologizes to Jorge Masvidal following UFC 287 ‘greasing’ accusations: ‘I can’t prove that’

Gilbert Burns has issued an apology to Jorge Masvidal after accusing the Miami native of ‘greasing’ for their UFC 287 co-main event on Saturday night.

Burns scored a decisive unanimous decision victory prompting ‘Gamebred’ to call it a career following four-straight losses inside the Octagon. However, ‘Durinho’ attracted much more attention than he bargained for when he accused Masvidal of ‘greasing’ before their contest during his UFC 287 post-fight press conference appearance.

Appearing on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani, Masvidal vehemently denied the accusations, suggesting that Burns’ grapple-heavy strategy failed to get a finish thanks to his own ‘sh*tty technique.
