UFC welterweight contender Gilbert Burns is able to get revenge for Daniel Cormier.
‘Durinho’ is slated to return this weekend at UFC 287 towards Jorge Masvidal. The bout would be the Brazilian’s first since January when he submitted Neil Magny. In the meantime, ‘Gamebred’ enters the competition using a three-fight shedding streak with losses to Kamaru Usman and Colby Covington.
Each males have said their hopes to safe a title shot forward of their return on Saturday. Nonetheless, it appears that evidently the Brazilian now has one other combat in thoughts, and it’s not a title shot. As an alternative, it’s a heavyweight conflict with Brock Lesnar, as Burns said at UFC 287 media day earlier at the moment.
There, Gilbert Burns said he wished to slap the previous UFC champion as a result of his altercation with Daniel Cormier. After ‘DC’ picked up a knockout win over Stipe Miocic in the primary occasion of UFC 226, Lesnar entered the cage. There, he minimize a promo bashing each males and wound up pushing Cormier.
The hyped heavyweight title conflict didn’t wind up occurring, which implies Cormier by no means bought the possibility to return the shove. At UFC 287 media day, Burns referred to as for his probability to avenge the commentator and slap Lesnar. The Brazilian’s feedback come simply days after the UFC and WWE introduced their plans to merge, because the latter was bought by Endeavor.
