Gilbert Burns spoils Jorge Masvidal’s homecoming

Gilbert Burns needed to play spoiler at UFC 287.

Again in April 2023, Burns took on Jorge Masvidal within the UFC’s long-awaited return to Miami. Masvidal, arguably the most important Miami consultant in MMA, was clearly the group favourite, however that didn’t deter Burns from getting the win. After quarter-hour of combating, Burns received a unanimous determination.

You’ll be able to watch Burns’ win over Masvidal within the video above.

Burns (22-7 MMA, 15-7 UFC) returns this Saturday in the principle occasion of UFC Fight Night 242, which matches down on the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. He meets fellow welterweight contender Sean Brady (16-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC).
