Kamaru Usman vs. Gilbert Burns for the UFC Welterweight Championship was supposed to be the main event of UFC 251, the first event to be held at UFC's Fight Island in Abu Dhabi. It didn't end up happening due to Burns testing positive for COVID-19, so Jorge Masvidal took on Usman for the title instead.
However, a fight between Usman and Burns still appears to be in UFC's cards.
After Usman successfully defended his title with a unanimous-decision victory over Masvidal on Saturday night, UFC president Dana White said after the event that a matchup against Burns will be next for Usman, according to ESPN's Marc Raimondi.
