“I think Gilbert Burns is one of the best MMA grapplers of all time. He’s phenomenal in grappling, period. In terms of grappling in MMA, he’s one of the best ever. The loss against Belal (Muhammad), he hurt his shoulder or something in the first round and it was an ugly fight from there on out. Plus, he rushed that fight. Then in the fight against Jack Della Maddalena, he was winning until he wasn't. But at a certain point he was winning, so I think he was doing well up until that point. I don't know, but my money is on Burns,” analyzed the former champion.
With the confidence of Robert whittaker, Gilbert Durinho faces Sean brady in the main fight of UFC Las Vegas 97, this Saturday (7), at 'Apex'.
