Gilbert Burns is one of the most noted fighters in the UFC Welterweight Division. Fans know the Brazilian for his superior grappling and heavy striking, which also comes with a ‘never-give up’ mentality. Burns went to an absolute war with the coveted Khamzat Chimaev earlier this year in a fight that won the ‘fight of the night’ award. But since then it has been all wait for ‘Durinho’. His next alleged opponent Jorge Masvidal has shown no interest in signing the fight contract despite assuring that the match would happen.

Burns clarified in one of his August 2022 interviews that the UFC had asked him to fight ‘Gambred’ on 12 November. However, the date started getting pushed to December and January and hasn’t been confirmed to date.

Gilbert Burns also tweeted his wait for Jorge Masvidal

In the same interview, Burns also stated that the UFC informed him about Masvidal saying “Oh, he’s not good, he had a procedure on his wrist”. He also sounded frustrated not to have received any official confirmation of the fight yet. He said, “For me, it’s simple. If you wanna fight, we’ll fight. If you don’t wanna fight, just say it, I’m going to the next one”.

He also attempted to get heard by Masvidal saying, “Jorge, if you don’t wanna fight, it’s all good my brother, no hard feelings, my respect to you. Just give the word, say no.” He ended, saying, “It’s on you right now”.
