Two former lightweights who have quickly become UFC welterweight contenders now want to fight each other.
Gilbert Burns, fresh off a fantastic knockout win over Demian Maia at UFC Brasilia, didn’t get the short notice Tyron Woodley fight as hoped, but he’s still angling for this first ever main event spot. The opponent he has in mind is Michael Chiesa, and as the two men relayed on Twitter (along with well wishes for each other during this coronavirus pandemic), they’re down to scrap in a five-rounder.
My guy @MikeMav22 stay safe!
