Gilbert Burns has been in the UFC for nearly five years now, but he hasn’t fought past three rounds. That can likely change this Saturday in his first headliner against former welterweight champion Tyron Woodley.
Burns’ zero experience in fighting championship rounds is something Woodley is looking to exploit. In a recent conversation with MMA Junkie Radio, “The Chosen One” says it is the reason why he wanted this bout to be 25 minutes long at the most.
“This fight in particular with Gilbert Burns is, I’m confident because of who I am and what I’m doing,” Woodley said.
