Bothered by some recent comments made by Nate Diaz about him, Gilbert Burns has labelled Diaz a “journeyman” who he could beat even with coronavirus.
Diaz criticised Burns saying he settled for less money to fight Usman at UFC 251, and he also took aim at Usman for not fighting the top contender at welterweight. Unfortunately for Burns he wouldn’t get his chance to fight for the title as he pulled out of the fight with Usman due to a positive test for COVID-19.
Burns responded when he spoke to ESPN and said he could ‘slap up’ Diaz easily.
