No.8-ranked UFC welterweight contender Gilbert Burns recently revealed his pick for the "most overrated" fighter in the welterweight division.

'Durinho' answered the question during a sitdown with Kamaru Usman and Henry Cejudo in a recent episode of the Pound 4 Pound podcast, choosing former UFC interim champion Colby Covington.

"The most overrated? Everybody's very tough in there. Jack [Della Maddalena], Sean Brady, Belal [Muhammad], Shavkat [Rakhmonov], Ian [Machado Garry] is very, very tough. Yeah, Covington is overrated. Colby Covington is an easy fight for anyone in the top 10. Easiest fight. Right now, not when you [Usman] fought him but right now."
