It turns out that legend was Maia as Burns recently revealed he was offered a co-main event spot opposite Maia for the UFC’s return to Brasilia.
“Caught up with Gilbert Burns after his match with Craig Jones at #SUG10,” Drake Riggs reported. “He said he has been offered a co-main event spot against Demian Maia for #UFCBrasilia on March 14. Not official yet but that’s the direction things are heading in. Interview coming soon.”
Maia is on a three-fight winning streak with his most recent victim being Ben Askren when he submitted him at UFC Singapore back in October.
As for Burns, he is on a four-fight winning streak. He recently made the move up from lightweight to welterweight and has won both of his 170-pound matchups against Alexey Kunchenko and Gunnar Nelson on short notice.
What do you think of this matchup? Who wins?
