UFC welterweight Gilbert Burns is not going to be deterred following his grueling unanimous decision loss to Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 273.

Burns, 35, is still on a mission for UFC gold and the Brazilian won’t rest until he has the welterweight title wrapped around his waist.

“Had a lot of fun yesterday, unfortunately was not enough to get the win. Shoutout to my family, team, sponsors and fans for the support! Love you guys. Another lesson learn! I won’t rest until I have the belt! Thank God another opportunity to do what I love!
