Gilbert Burns will not complain about his purse to take on the welterweight champion, Kamaru Usman, at UFC 251. Despite what fellow contender Jorge Masvidal claims - that ‘Durinho’ took the lowest pay possible in order to secure the title shot - the Brazilian fighter has a different point of view on the matter.
In an interview with MMA Fighting, Burns says Masvidal should negotiate better and not sign a contract if he is unhappy with the numbers. However, for himself, Durinho believes he made quite a nice deal with the company - better than what most title challengers make, in fact.
