After seeing his dominant stylistic performance against former number one contender, Tyrone Woodley, 19W 5L 1D, Gilbert “Durinho” Burns, 19W 3L, has been pushed in front of the waiting line, and given a title shot against Kamaru Usman, 16W 1L, for the UFC Welterweight Championship. The fight is scheduled for the UFC Fight Island debut at UFC 251 on July 11, 2020. Within the past year Burns has won 5 fights in a row, moving through the ranks rapidly placing him in the position he is now. This match-up brings the ‘Burns Brothers’ closer to their goal of being the first brothers in the UFC to both hold championships at the same time.
