Former undisputed welterweight title challenger, Gilbert Burns is slated to make his return to action at UFC 314 in April, taking on the unbeaten Ecuadorian finisher, Michael Morales in a high-stakes pairing in Miami, Florida.
Burns, the current number eight ranked welterweight contender, has been out of action since he featured against Philadelphia grappler, Sean Brady in a main event clash in September of last year, dropping a decision loss which came as his third successive defeat.
As for Morales, the 17-0 knockout artist featured on the main card of UFC Vegas 96 last summer against perennial contender and the promotion’s most winningest-welterweight, Neil Magny, stopping the veteran with a blistering opening round knockout win.
