Brazilian favorite Gilbert Burns calls out Ex-UFC champion Dustin Poirier amid links to welterweight move

Former UFC welterweight champion, Gilbert Burns, throws his hat in the ring for a potential Dustin Poirier fight.

Following his brutal knockout loss to Justin Gaethje last month, Poirier now finds himself in a slightly awkward position. His dreams of winning an undisputed UFC title have now at least been postponed for some time, but he also does not seem willing to take on the division’s up-and-comers.

‘The Diamond’ is also one of the promotion’s bigger names and could also be a part of big non-title fights. With his exciting style and willingness to engage in firefights, there is many fun scraps that the 34-year-old can be a part of.
