[autotag]Gilbert Burns[/autotag] has hit uncharted territory in his career after falling short to Sean Brady in the UFC Fight Night 242 main event.

Burns’ (22-8 MMA, 15-8 UFC) struggles to maintain his position at the top of the welterweight division continued with a unanimous decision loss to Brady (17-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) at the UFC Apex. As a result, the Brazilian is now on the first three-fight losing skid of his career.

At 38, all the signs are trending in a negative direction for “Durinho,” who told MMA Junkie prior to the fight that he was looking at the matchup with Brady as the building block for a final title run.
