What's next for Gilbert Burns?

The No. 2 ranked welterweight, Gilbert Burns, is currently coming off of a rebound win against Stephen Thompson. Having conceded a KO/TKO loss at the hands of Kamaru Usman at UFC 258, Burns bounced back with a unanimous decision win over Thompson at UFC 264 back in July.

'Durinho' is hell bent on fighting his way back to a title shot soon enough. While the UFC welterweight division is chock-full of worthy opponents, Burns has a select few contenders in mind.

“Leon No. 1, Masvidal No. 2, Diaz if he wants it. If they want it, they can get it. We’ll see. But October, three rounds, if it’s five rounds then we go November. t’s a fight that excites me. Guy is freaking tough. He’s been beating everybody. He has a big case to fight for the title. That’s a fight that I want," declared Gilbert Burns.
