Gilbert Burns eyes July return, thinks Nik Lentz 'makes sense'

Lightweight Gilbert Burns is thinking about his next fight after a few months on the sidelines. Following a decision loss to Michel Prazeres in September 2016, Burns told Combate that July would be a good time to return and Nik Lentz would make a fine opponent.

"There's a lot of guys I want to fight, but I understand it needs to make sense. I can't come off a loss and ask for a Top 10 guy. I think Nik Lentz, who also lost his last fight, makes sense.
