Gilbert Burns isn’t 100 percent sold that Jorge Masvidal will stay retired from MMA.
“Right now he’s retired, and as a title contender he’s retired, but for big money fights against (Conor) McGregor or Nate Diaz or another big name, I think he returns,” Burns recently told MMA Junkie in Spanish.
Burns (22-5 MMA, 15-5 UFC) was the final opponent of Masvidal’s career as the two fought in the co-main event of UFC 287 earlier this month in Miami. Immediately after Burns was announced the winner by unanimous decision, Masvidal (35-17 MMA, 12-10 UFC) revealed to the world that it would be his final performance, putting an end to a 20-year career.
