Gilbert Burns Wants UFC Title Shot vs. Kamaru Usman After Win over Tyron Woodley

Fresh off a dominant unanimous-decision win over Tyron Woodley, Gilbert Burns says he's ready for a title shot.

"I love the champ, my training partner Kamaru Usman, but give me a shot," Burns said after his win over Woodley on Saturday, per Damon Martin of MMA Fighting. "Dana White, Hunter [Campbell], Sean Shelby, Kamaru, I want to fight for the title.

"A lot of love, a lot of respect for you, but I think I'm next. I'm right there. I can fight in July. I want to fight for the title."

Burns came out of the gates firing, nearly stopping Woodley at several points on his way to a 50-44, 50-44, 50-45 decision on the scorecards.
