“But, he can make it happen. He is a freaking professional. We call him a big couple of guys we call him a professional brawler. That guy can brawl. It’s not that he’s gonna lose, no, he’s a professional brawler. He can brawl, you know. Even though Gane is very technical, he can make that brawl. If he can make it happen, I got Derrick Lewis,” said ‘Durinho’.
“I think he finishes, he is a professional brawler. Like a different level of brawler. That’ll be crazy one, I can not wait for this one. I’m excited,” Burns concluded.

“It’s unfortunate what happened to Francis, but I see a better way. I see a contender, Derrick or Ciryl gonna get to a title shot, gonna become an interim champion and gonna make crazy pay-per-view money fighting Francis, so it’s a great opportunity,” said Burns.
