Gilbert Burns: “I’m a Bigger Underdog Now Than I Was Against Khamzat — And I Love It”

Gilbert Burns loves being the underdog.

After coming up short in his last three outings, Burns will walk into this weekend’s UFC Fight Night card in Las Vegas as the biggest underdog he’s ever been in his career. As it stands, ‘Durinho’ is a +575 underdog while his opponent, Michael Morales, is a massive -850 favorite.

That means you’d have to bet $850 on Morales just to win $100.

Burns thinks his Odds against Morales are ‘A little crazy’

During Wednesday’s UFC Vegas 106 media day, Burns acknowledged that his 17-0 opponent should be the favorite, especially considering the last three performances he’s turned in.
