Gilbert burns comeback: Gilbert Burns’s loss in UFC 273 against Khamzat Chimaev has knocked out his position in the division, he plans to rise up to the top contenders in his next fight.

The Brazilian ranked two in the welterweight division glided to rank 4 amidst his fight with the rising star, Khamzat Chimaev.

UFC 273 witnessed a spectacular 3-round match between Gilbert burns and Khamzat Chimaev. Burns’s loss in the match was so edgy that some believe it might need a rematch.

However, The Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt needs to regain his lost position by challenging only one of the top contenders, not anyone below his rank.

“I just want five rounds, even if it is the co-main or the one before, you gotta do five rounds,” Burns said to ESPN. “I’m not doing three rounds no more, brother. Nobody is calling me out, but if you call me out be ready to do five rounds because I’m just going to make that thing in my contract. So next fight they’re gonna give me a new contract and then they say, just for him, he is only doing five rounds.”

“UFC kinda interested little bit in Jorge Masvidal. That’s the fight they want to make. Masvidal showed little bit interest, I showed a lot of interest. I thnk that’s the next one to do it. I don’t know when, I think I’ll be ready to go by September. And I think September, October, November that’s the latest that I would wait for Masvidal. I know he got a lot of things going on, he has a couple of injuries, he got the thing going with he got the legal thing going with Colby, so I’ll wait till November. I cannot wait more than that.”

There is an ongoing battery trial on Masvidal on the incident. However, both the fighters are welterweight tycoons and Gilbert Burns doesn’t want to miss out on a chance to fight them. Among them, Colby Covington ranks as the no1 contender in the welterweight division.

A fight with any top contender in the welterweight division would fetch a quick climb for burns. He previously challenged the pound-to-pound number one fighter, Kamaru Usman, and suffered a loss
