During the week preceding the event, the Niteroi native had already stated that Dunham was wrong to accept a confrontation against him. Burns had won four consecutive matches, while the American had not played since September 2018.
In the confrontation against Evan, Herbert had accepted the confrontation at the last minute. The duel was held at catchweight (up to 68kg.). This was the 13th fight in the Brazilian's professional MMA career. Now, the Niteroi native has 11 triumphs and only two setbacks.
The fight
The fight started with Dunham surprising the Brazilian with a straight right to the face. Burns responded with a kick to the belt. Herbert got to his rival's back, took the fight to the ground and locked in a rear naked choke, forcing his rival to give up.
