The co-main event of UFC Copenhagen has reportedly been saved.
It was initially going to be a welterweight contest between Gunnar Nelson and Thiago Alves. However, Alves had to pull out due to injury leaving “Gunni” with no opponent.
That’s no longer the case. Burns — who recently made a successful move up to welterweight — had called to step in and that seems to be the case now.
According to Combate journalist Raphael Marinho, that fight is set to go ahead:
It will be the second fight in a row that Burns steps in on short notice. He moved up from lightweight to defeat Alexey Kunchenko in his welterweight debut last month. In all, he is on a three-fight winning streak.
Nelson, meanwhile, is looking to get back to winning ways. He last suffered a split decision loss to Leon Edwards earlier this year and has lost two of his last three outings.
UFC Copenhagen takes place September 28 and will be headlined by a middleweight encounter between Jack Hermansson and Jared Cannonier.

Women’s flyweight Rachael Ostovich is among four fighters to have recently pulled out of the upcoming UFC Uruguay event on August 10.
The first fighter was Taila Santos, with a wrist injury pulling her out of her women’s flyweight fight with Ariane Carnelossi according to MMA Fighting.
Then it was announced by the UFC that Polyana Viana would replace Ostovich for her flyweight bout against Veronica Macedo. Ostovich last competed in January, suffering a submission defeat to Paige VanZant. The reason for her withdrawal is undisclosed as of now.
The promotion later announced that Rodrigo Vargas would replace Rafael Fiziev against Alex da Silva in a lightweight contest.
Finally, Laureano Staropoli suffered a broken nose, resulting in him withdrawing from his welterweight bout with Alexey Kunchenko. Luckily for the UFC, former lightweight Gilbert Burns will reportedly be stepping in and making his welterweight debut in the process.
Amazingly, all of these pullouts occurred on the same day. Luckily, there’s still over a week to go for UFC Uruguay so all was not lost.
UFC Uruguay takes place in Montevideo and will be headlined by a women’s flyweight title fight between champion Valentina Shevchenko and Liz Carmouche.
Below is the full card as of now:

Lightweight Gilbert Burns claims Alexander Hernandez is avoiding him by not signing a contract for a scheduled bout at UFC Uruguay.
Burns made it four wins in his last five following his submission victory over Mike Davis at UFC Fort Lauderdale last month.
The Brazilian revealed afterwards that Hernandez declined to fight him on that card, but was an opponent he would like to face next.
“I want to fight Alexander Hernandez next,” Burns said (via MMA Junkie). “Tell him to choose. July 6, June 29, just tell me the date. I want to fight him next. … I have nothing personal against him, I just want his place [in the rankings]. I want the challenge.”
A contract has seemingly been sent over to Hernandez since for a bout at UFC Uruguay on August 10. However, “The Great” is yet to sign it as Burns called him out on Thursday.
“Hey @TheGreat155 wtf are you doing?” Burns wrote. “Cowboy Cerrone had fought once and he is fighting again! Stop hiding! Get you sh*t together and sign the contract! See you in Uruguay August 10.”
Hernandez broke into the top 15 of the lightweight rankings following his explosive debut last year where he knocked out Beniel Dariush.
He followed it up with a win over Olivier Aubin-Mercier, but suffered a devastating knockout defeat to Donald Cerrone in January.
Still, he is ranked No. 13 in the division and a win for Burns would undoubtedly see him move up the ranks. Do you want to see this fight?
