Gilbert Burns calls for fights with Muhammad, Chiesa, Brady, and more for UFC 283 in Brazil: “Give me anyone, I don’t care.”

The UFC will return to Brazil at UFC 283 on January 21, 2023. Gilbert Burns is looking to compete at this event but is struggling to find an opponent. ‘Durinho’ has requested Jorge Masvidal but claims that the Cuban-American turned down that matchup three times. Now, Brazil’s Burns is seeking a new opponent in the […]

Burns recently spoke with MMA Underground’s John Morgan, in an interview and said he will face anyone. He explained:

“I said to the UFC, ‘Give me anyone, I don’t care.’ … They’ve said I’m fighting in Brazil. 100% I’m fighting. Give me anyone. There’s not a lot of guys that are available. Belal Muhammad is the one that doesn’t have a fight. I’d be interested, but he just got a big win in Abu Dhabi. It doesn’t make sense for the guy to go all the way to Brazil for a hard fight… I’ll fight him, I don’t care.“

The Brazilian-born athlete is willing to throw down with anyone at welterweight. He continued:

“Sean Brady, he just got a loss right now, I’ll fight him, he’s available… Michael Chiesa, he doesn’t have a fight, I’ll fight him too. Neil Magny, he’s the guy that called me out, I’ll fight him too. (Michel) Pereira is another Brazilian, I’ll fight him too… Daniel Rodriguez, I’ll fight him too.” [Transcript courtesy of MMA News.com]

Gilbert Burns responds to Neil Magny’s call out, applauds new record set at UFC Vegas 64

After a phenomenal showing at UFC Vegas 64 by Neil Magny, he didn’t hesitate in calling out former title-contender Gilbert Burns. ‘Durinho’ didn’t waste any time in replying to the challenge, and applauding Magny for his performance during his fight against Daniel Rodriguez. Magny defeated Rodriguez via D’arce choke in the third round, which cemented […]

Magny defeated Rodriguez via D’arce choke in the third round, which cemented his status as the holder of the most wins (20) in UFC welterweight history. This new record dethrones the previous holder, who was none other then the legend himself: Georges St. Pierre.

During the post-fight interview, Neil Magny broke down his reasoning for wanting a fight with Burns, citing his grappling prowess as an interesting enigma for him to test his skills against.

“Gilbert Burns is one of the toughest, or in my opinion, the best grappler in the division right now…” Magny began. “I feel like I did a lot of growing in that fight against Shavkat and I feel like challenging myself against a good grappler like Gilbert Burns is just going out there to show it.”

Gilbert Burns reponds to Neil Magny’s challenge

It didn’t take long for Burns to see and respond to the challenge, giving a reply online via Twitter. The Brazilian made sure to congratulate his fellow mixed martial artist though, and gave praise to Magny’s performance and new record.

“Congrats Neil Magny last time I heard UFC said I have an opponent for (Brazil), if he doesn’t show up, we can dance I’m in (100 percent) to make this Fight happen! For now great finish and congrats on your record!”

Right now, there’s no opponent set in stone to face ‘Durinho’ in Brazil, atleast to public knoweldge. Any UFC fight will typically be announced publically as soon as everything’s finalized, so this could be an indication that contracts haven’t been signed yet, meaning Magny may well be able to slip in and get the fight with Gilbert Burns that he is wanting.

Gilbert Burns believes Leon Edwards got affected by the altitude in his rematch with Kamaru Usman.

Edwards took on Usman in August at UFC 278 for the welterweight title and pulled off a shocking upset to dethrone the former pound-for-pound king in the final minute of the bout. After an early takedown scored by Edwards, he got largely dominated by Usman until he connected with a huge head kick.

Following the outcome, UFC president Dana White expressed his interest in booking an immediate trilogy fight.

Gilbert Burns shares the ‘big factor’ in prediction for Leon Edwards v Kamaru Usman 3

In an interview with MMA Junkie, Burns shares his breakdown of Edwards’ rematch with Usman at UFC 278.

“It’s going to be a hard fight,” Burns said about the trilogy (ht BJPenn.com). “Right now, we’ve got to see how Kamaru comes back. He seems pretty OK with the situation, a little bit released, that pressure, carrying the belt, but I see a lot of factors a lot of people didn’t see. The way I see it, Leon had a very good first round – took him down, mount, got his back.

“I think he kind of gassed out a little bit because of the altitude in Salt Lake. I think that was a big factor in that fight. That’s why Kamaru was able to dig deep, got back, dominated a couple of rounds. But Leon had the technique. You saw all the studies. He was drilling that a lot.”

Burns believes it will be a close one

‘Durinho’ believes the third fight will be closer than their last encounter and can see Edwards retaining his title.

“I just think it’s going to be another close one, especially if they go to London. Yeah, it’s going to be a tough one. I still think it’s a 50-50 fight – both guys [have] got a chance. But in London, with that preparation, with the mindset now, I think Leon might get the best. It’s going to be a close one.”
