Gilbert Burns is so confident in his striking ability that he is willing to fight Jorge Masvidal with a no takedowns clause included in the contract.
Burns is coming off a Fight of the Year candidate against Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 273 and is looking to put on another exciting show for the fans in his next outing.
That’s why the Brazilian thinks it makes sense to fight Masvidal, the UFC ‘BMF’ champion, next.
“For me, what would make sense for me, is Jorge Masvidal,” Burns, who is looking to bounce back from his decision loss to Chimaev, told MMA Fighting in a recent interview.
