Jorge Masvidal suffered his fourth consecutive defeat as he lost a unanimous decision ti Gilbert Burns at UFC 287.
Masvidal entered his pivotal clash against Burns on a three-fight losing skid as the Miami native was without a win since claiming the inaugural 'BMF" title against Nate Diaz in November 2019. Burns lost out to Khamzat Chimaev in a Fight of the Year contender last April but got back in the win column in January by impressively tapping out fellow longtime contender Neil Magny.
As the fight between the welterweight rivals got underway, Masvidal landed two good leg kicks as chants of "Let's go Jorge" echoed around the Kaseya Center. Burns landed a good right hand but it just grazed the chin of Masvidal, who responded with a good flurry. Burns almost capitalised on Masvidal overextending a right hand by taking him down, but 'Gamebred' did well to stay on his feet.
