UFC welterweight Gilbert Burns claims he would "beat the s***" out of Conor McGregor if the pair were to clash in the octagon.
The Notorious hasn't fought since suffering a broken leg in his loss to Dustin Poirier last summer, and has just one win to his name in his last four UFC outings. He has since shown off an impressive physique as he continues his recovery, and has bulked up to around 190lb, reports The Mirror.
McGregor has talked up a switch from 155lb to 170lb where his last victory came against Donald Cerrone in 2020. And contender Burns believes he would be able to defeat the UFC superstar if the fight stays on the ground or turns into a wrestling match. “He’s not a welterweight but if he wants to fight at welterweight, I’d love to beat the s*** out of Conor," Burns told MMA Fighting. "I think he’s not going to take that punch.
