Following Geoff Neal’s brutal KO win over Vicente Luque at UFC Vegas 59, ‘Handz of Steel’ took to the mic to call out top-ranked UFC welterweight contender Gilbert Burns.
Neal finished Luque in the third round of their co-main event bout, becoming the first man to knock out ‘The Silent Assasin’ in a pro MMA bout. In the aftermath of the win, Michael Bisping entered the octagon to speak with Geoff Neal, asking him who he wishes to face next after such an emphatic victory. The response was short and sweet:
“I’ve been looking at Gilbert Burns. I want him next. He’s coming off an L. It’s somebody that’s up there, Luque’s 6 (ranked), I should be 6. Who else is in front of me? Gilbert’s not doing nothing.”

Shortly after the callout, Gilbert Burns, who is a close friend and training partner with Luque, responded. ‘Durinho’ stated he would be interested in the matchup, assuming the fight with Jorge ‘Gamebred’ Masvidal does not come to fruition. In a Twitter post, he had the following to say:
“Finally someone called me out! About time! Congrats @handzofsteelmma. Let’s see if Jorge will show up! Otherwise we might dance #UFCVegas59.”

Gilbert Burns is currently coming off an extremely competitive decision loss to the rapidly rising welterweight contender, Khamzat Chimaev. He sits at No.4 in the 170lb top 15, likely just ahead of Neal come the Tuesday rankings update. A fight with Neal would make a lot of sense, as well as giving Burns a chance to avenge his fallen teammate.
Khamzat Chimaev does not see Gilbert Burns as championship quality. The top-ranked welterweight contender Chimaev is coming off an all-time classic brawl with the former title challenger Burns. Although Chimaev came out on top in a razor-thin decision win, Burns delivered on the expectation of the bout being Chimaev’s toughest test at UFC 273 in […]
Khamzat Chimaev does not see Gilbert Burns as championship quality.
The top-ranked welterweight contender Chimaev is coming off an all-time classic brawl with the former title challenger Burns. Although Chimaev came out on top in a razor-thin decision win, Burns delivered on the expectation of the bout being Chimaev’s toughest test at UFC 273 in April.
It was one of the fights where neither guy seemed to lose any steam. Burns became an instant fan favorite for his brave performance and did not lose any stock even though he was defeated.
In an appearance on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani, Khamzat Chimaev explained that his fight with Burns made the Brazilian popular. While Chimaev was upset that he couldn’t get the finish as he had in all of his prior bouts, he bashed “Durinho” for being content with the outcome.
“The guy [Burns], I make him famous,” Chimaev said (H/T MMA News). “The guy was a nobody, you know, before me,” Chimaev said. “I make him famous. And he lost the fight, [but] he was more happy. I was angry for that fight.
“I win that fight, [but] I was angry because I didn’t finish that guy. I don’t understand [why] some guys like Gilbert become happy when they lost the fight.”
Chimaev argued that Burns would never become a champion based on his behavior after the loss.
“Going everywhere, doing interviews, and [saying], ‘I’m gonna fight with him again.’ Yeah, we’re gonna fight, whatever, I’ll fight with him whenever he wants, but I don’t see he will be champ, because if you’re happy when you lost the fight, you will never be champ.
“I win my fight, I was like, one month angry at me in training and everything,” Chimaev added. “These things I don’t understand.”
Khamzat Chimaev will return to action against Nate Diaz at UFC 279.
