Gilbert Burns thinks it would be a waste of time pursuing a fight with Colby Covington.
Currently experiencing the first losing skid of his career, Burns doesn’t think he’s in a position to pick and choose any fights. The former title challenger recently accepted Joaquin Buckley’s callout, but won’t be ready to fight until at least three months.
Burns (22-7 MMA, 15-7 UFC) says he’s dealing with some injuries and will be cleared for full training by June. “Durinho” is targeting an end of August return, and sees multiple options for his next fight.
