Herbert Burns signed a contract to fight Evan Dunham less than 48 hours before his older brother Gilbert Burns demolished Tyron Woodley at UFC on ESPN 9. Days after that flawless win, he’s inspired by “Durinho’s” performance ahead of Saturday night’s UFC 250 in Las Vegas.
Burns, a featherweight, and Dunham, a lightweight, will meet in the middle for a 15-pound catchweight bout on June 6. The Brazilian talent admits he was a bit “surprised” when the UFC came up with the offer, but loved the fact that he’s facing such a veteran in his second UFC appearance.
