[autotag]Gilbert Burns[/autotag] had to play spoiler at UFC 287.
Back in April 2023, Burns took on [autotag]Jorge Masvidal[/autotag] in the UFC’s long-awaited return to Miami. Masvidal, arguably the biggest Miami representative in MMA, was obviously the crowd favorite, but that didn’t deter Burns from getting the win. After 15 minutes of fighting, Burns won a unanimous decision.
You can watch Burns’ win over Masvidal in the video above.
Burns (22-7 MMA, 15-7 UFC) returns this Saturday in the main event of UFC Fight Night 242, which goes down at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. He meets fellow welterweight contender Sean Brady (16-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC).
