Gilbert Burns wants to keep his championship window pried open a little while longer.
The soon-to-be 39-year-old Brazilian will attempt to reassert himself in the Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight division when he puts the unbeaten Michael Morales to the test in the UFC Fight Night 256 main event on Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Burns enters the Octagon on a career-worst three-fight losing streak, his record within the organization having fallen to a still-excellent 15-8. The Kill Cliff Fight Club rep last saw action at UFC Fight Night 242, where he dropped a five-round unanimous decision to Sean Brady on Sept.
