Next, the reigning Welterweight Champion addressed Jorge Masvidal who was to be “the next guy in line.” He brings up ‘Gamebred’s so-so career record and talks about his loss nearly 3 years ago at UFC 211 to Demain Maia. Also, he brings up this year’s UFC Fight Night: Lee vs Oliviera. Here ‘Durinho’ trounced the same fighter in the first round via TKO.
Let’s state some facts here: “Your Bum Ass” •L’s in last (5 of 9) in 8year span •12 L’s Total •1-1 in last 4 years •Refused to fight Woodley when offered title shot. “Said Guy” •13 L’s Total •L to Damian Maia Who was KO’d by Burns In rd 1. •embarrassed ur Bum Ass
This is what’s wrong with people claiming they’re fighters settling for less cause they know they’re not worth shit you should’ve fought the next guy in line not the guy who would take less cause he’s told too that’s why no one will remember youguys This isn’t a title fight
Building on this point, ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ hypes his UFC 251 opponent. ‘Durinho’s 6-fight win streak is not lost to anyone and is part of the momentum that propelled him to a title fight. He talks about the last 2 fights which were the TKO win over Maia and the complete domination over Tyron Woodley.
He concludes by branding ‘Durinho’ “a true martial artist and not all talk.”
Burns: •6 Fight win streak in less than 2 year span. •KO over Maia who defeated “said guy” •(50-44) domination over #1 WW Woodley who you turned down for a title fight. •Burns Is a true martial artist and not all talk. #UFC251
Finally, ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ ended by tweeting, “Bottom line, if you got double digit L’s shut TF up and sit yo Bum Ass TF down. Oh and once again don’t forget to buy the PPV”
