MIAMI – Gilbert Burns doesn’t see Jorge Masvidal retiring with a loss at UFC 287.
Burns (21-5 MMA, 14-5 UFC) meets Masvidal (35-16 MMA, 12-9 UFC) in Saturday’s welterweight co-main event at Kaseya Center. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and early prelims on ESPN+.
Masvidal, who has lost his past three fights, has said openly that a fourth-straight setback could signal the end of his career. But with “Gamebred” recently signing a multi-fight deal, which his former manager claimed makes him “top 5 highest-paid” fighters in the UFC, Burns doubts he leaves all that money on the table.
