Off the back of his impressive unanimous decision victory over common-foe, Jorge Masvidal last weekend at UFC 287, one-time title challenger, Gilbert Burns has called for a future fight with former interim champion, Colby Covington – potentially with spoils of some form on the line.
Burns, the current #5 ranked welterweight contender, most recently co-headlined UFC 287 last weekend in Miami, Florida – defeating two-time title challenger, Masvidal in a one-sided unanimous decision triumph.
As for Covington, the current #2 rated challenger, has been sidelined since UFC 272 back in March of last year, also handing veteran fan-favorite, Masvidal a unanimous decision loss in the pair’s long-awaited headlining grudge match.
