Gilbert Burns has spoken about the many advantages he holds over the UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman and expressed his belief that they will allow him to finish ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ when they finally face off. Burns was supposed to challenge Usman for the 170lb strap at UFC 251 in July. Unfortunately, the Brazilian submission specialist tested positive for the coronavirus a week out from fight night and was forced to withdraw. Jorge Masvidal stepped in on late notice but was dominated for five rounds by Usman who easily retained his title. UFC president Dana White has since told media Burns will be getting the next welterweight title shot.
The 34-year-old title challenger discussed the advantages he holds over Usman and any other welterweight during an interview with Helen Yee, he said.
“I see a lot of advantages. For sure my jiu jitsu. Any wrestlers in this division, Colby Covington, try taking me down. Just try it. I’ll be more than happy to not make it easy for guys to take me down. I might defend the shot or even take you guys down. As soon as I get on top, or even on bottom, I’m able to submit or even sweep or do whatever with any one of these guys in the division.”
“Not only for the champion, but for anyone, I’m a threat on my feet too,” Burns said. “I can kick, I can punch. I hit way harder than these guys. I have all the explosiveness. I’m fresh in the division. I don’t know how I didn’t make that change [from lightweight to welterweight] before, but right now I feel so good for that division.”
Burns went on to predict he would finish Usman and he says it could come via submission or knockout.
“I see a finish,” Burns told Yee. “I don’t know how. I know I can submit him. I know I can knock him out. I’m just going to work super hard to make sure I’m in the best shape of my life. We’re already planning.”
“I have so much energy right now that I see finish,” he added. “I’m going to be looking for the finish every single minute, every single second of that fight. That’s what I’m looking for.” (Transcribed by BJPENN.com)

Former welterweight champion Tyron Woodley has been looking ahead to the next 170lb title fight which will likely see Kamaru Usman defend his belt against Gilbert Burns.
Woodley lost the welterweight belt to Usman back at UFC 235. ‘The Chosen One’ looked flat as he was dominated by Usman throughout the 25-minute fight. One year later he returned to action against Burns and again got dominated for five rounds before dropping another decision and a second consecutive defeat.
Burns was supposed to face off against ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ at UFC 251. Unfortunately for the Brazilian, that fight was scrapped because he tested posted for COVID-19. Jorge Masvidal stepped in on one weeks’ notice but struggled to keep ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ at bay. Usman picked up a unanimous decision win to defend his title for the second time.
Speaking on the “UFC Unfiltered” podcast Woodley previewed the upcoming title fight and spoke about the various advantages Burns holds over Usman, he said.
“He has power. He has more power than Usman. He’s a better grappler than Usman, jiu-jitsu wise, but I think the striking – he may not be better, but he does punch a little bit harder, and it’s going to be a point where it has to go to the ground. We all just can be real: Gilbert’s gonna win that ground fight. Maybe not from his back, but if he finds a way on top or a position where he can take the back, it’s a problem.”
Woodley went on to praise Usman’s ability to adapt within a fight, he said.
“Usman’s above average everywhere, but he’s not excellent anywhere. But he’s a good implementer. He’s above average everywhere, but he’s not excellent anywhere, but he’s excellent at putting it together. He’s excellent at making adjustments within a fight.
“Whether you like watching him take Masvidal down or not, he never did one takedown against Colby, and Leon Edwards he struck and when it was time to takedown, he went for the takedown. So he’s very good at putting it together, and he’s going to have to do that against Burns.”
