Gilbert Burns scored one of the biggest wins of his career on Saturday night in the co-main event of UFC 287.
Emanating from Miami-Dade Arena, the crowd was firmly behind Burns’ opponent Jorge Masvidal, but it wasn’t enough to bring him back into the win column against the No. 5 ranked welterweight contender.
Both fighters took a very measured approach in the early going with Jorge Masvidal working the calf kick. Burns also remained cautious, respecting Masvidal’s power. As we got to the four-minute mark, both fighters began to let their fists fly with Burns landing a solid right hand. Burns followed that up with a lightning-quick late-round takedown and dropped a series of hammer fists as the first-round bell sounded.
In the opening seconds of the second round, Burns landed a left hand that sat Masvidal down. ‘Gamebred’ quickly got back to his feet, but found himself pulled off the ground and slammed to the ground with Burns sitting comfortably in top position. Masvidal was able to work his way back up and separate with 30 seconds to go, but by then there was not much he could do to swing the round in his favor.
Gilbert Burns came out in the third taking his time, but by the two-minute mark, he began throwing heavy leather and caught Masvidal clean with a big right hand. Burns delivered a three-punch combo that backed Masivdal to the fence. Gamebred’ encouraged Burns to keep coming forward, but Burns refused to take the bait and instead initiated a clinch with 90 seconds to go. Burns managed to get Masvidal to the mat and was able to keep him there through the end of the contest.
Official Result: Gilbert Burns def. Jorge Masvidal via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28)
Good round Gilbert burns.

UFC president, Dana White has confirmed that former two-time welterweight title challenger, Jorge Masvidal would earn a shot at welterweight gold should he defeat Gilbert Burns on home soil this weekend at UFC 287 – claiming he would be interested in booking the Floridian against current titleholder, Leon Edwards.
Attempting to snap a three-fight losing skid this weekend in Miami, the current #11 ranked welterweight contender, Masvidal has been sidelined since March of last year at UFC 272 – dropping a one-sided unanimous decision win to former interim champion, Colby Covington.
And ahead of UFC 287, the American Top Team mainstay claimed that he would be fighting Edwards for the championship before Covington, if he manages to defeat Brazilian contender, Burns this weekend.
However, according to reports this month, the UFC are working on an undisputed welterweight title fight between Edwards and Covington to take main event honors at UFC 291 in July – in a potential return to the UK for the organization.
White, has also, however, claimed that should Masvidal defeat the perennial challenger, Burns at UFC 287, and Edwards successfully defends his title against Covington – the winning parties would likely find themselves on a collision course.
“Let me tell you what’s going to happen, if he (Jorge Masvidal) goes in against a guy like Gilbert Burns, whom I have a ton of respect for. Gilbert Burns is an absolute badass,” Dana White told TMZ Sports during a recent interview.
“Then you have Colby Covington versus Leon Edwards,” Dana White explained. “And if Leon Edwards beats Colby Covington, the history between Leon Edwards and Jorge Masvidal, and they both win these fights, that fight will be so huge. People would be dying to see that fight. It would be absolutely massive, and maybe we do it back in Miami.”
Initially booked to settle their differences at UFC 269 back in December of 2021, Masvidal withdrew from the their welterweight grudge match due to an undisclosed injury.

UFC welterweight Gilbert Burns wants to slap Brock Lesnar in defence of Daniel Cormier.
MMA’s ties to professional wrestling go back to the very beginning of the sport and earlier this week, those connections became even stronger. It was announced that the UFC parent company Endeavor had purchased 51% of the WWE and would be merging the wrestling promotion with the UFC to form one big company.
Talent from each promotion has previously made the jump to the other including Ronda Rousey, Matt Riddle and CM Punk. However, the most well-known is Brock Lesnar, who has a very valuable asset to both companies.
However, one of this weekend’s main card fighters has sent out a warning to the former heavyweight champion. Gilbert Burns said that he wanted to ‘slap’ Lesnar, despite weighing near enough 100lbs less the NCAA division I champion.
“I think UFC can learn so much from the WWE and vice versa,” said Burns. “And it’s a good opportunity to slap Brock Lesnar in the face too, right? It’s a good opportunity. I’ve never met him, he’s lucky I’ve never met him. But, I want to slap him because he cannot push ‘DC’ like that when he came all the way there in the Octagon. I want to slap him in the face.” (H/T MMANews)
Burns is referring to his infamous in-cage confrontation with Daniel Cormier after the latter won the UFC heavyweight title.
As for Burns, he is set to take on ‘BMF champion, Jorge Masvidal on the main card of this weekend’s 287. The Brazilian will hope to build-off an impressive one round blitzing of Neil Magny just three months ago. His opponent, Masvidal will be looking for his first win since 2019 when he beat Nate Diaz.
Gilbert Burns or Jorge Masvidal?

Following years of criticizm and a call for a revamp design, it appears the UFC are set to debut a new glove design at this weekend’s UFC 287 pay-per-view event in Miami, Florida – in a bid to reduce unintentional eye pokes and fouls.
Slated to return to the ‘Sunshine State’ this weekend, the Octagon is slated to feature an undisputed middleweight championship rematch between current division kingpin, Alex Pereira, and former champion, Israel Adesanya – in a re-run of their bitter championship fight back in November of last year at Madison Square Garden.
In the event’s co-headliner, one-time welterweight title challenger, Gilbert Burns makes his second outing of the annum already, taking on former two-time title chaser, Jorge Masvidal – with the latter attempting to rebound to the winner’s enclosure for the first time since 2019 in front of a partisan hometown crowd.
And during fight week, Rio de Janeiro native, Burns displayed what appear to be new mixed martial arts gloves set to be donned by fighters at UFC 287 this weekend in the promotion’s flagship event, in a bid to help reduce the occurrence of eye pokes.
“I love it, because people don’t see, but it kind of makes your fingers go down, so less eye pokes,” Gilbert Burns said during UFC 287 Countdown about apparent new gloves. “So, I like it, see my hands are relaxed – [the fingers] don’t stay here [outstrected]. Way better for no eye pokes. I like these new gloves.”
Attempting to avenge a knockout loss to Pereira back in November of last year, Adesanya will feature at UFC 287, in search of a return to winning ways at the middleweight limit for the first time in his mixed martial arts career.
And sporting non-champion shorts for the first time since 2019 in the UFC 287 headliner, Adesanya has opted to don a pair of blue-colored compression shorts for this weekend’s Miami-Dade Center main event.
