Jorge Masvidal thinks Gilbert Burns vs. Belal Muhammad is anybody’s fight.
Burns (22-5 MMA, 15-5 UFC) and Muhammad (22-3 MMA, 13-3 UFC) square off in Saturday’s UFC 288 co-headliner at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., in what is expected to be a No. 1 contender bout at welterweight. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN/ESPN+.
Masvidal is coming off a unanimous decision loss to Burns at UFC 287 in April and subsequently retired after the fight. “Gamebred” sees more ways to win for Burns, but gives Muhammad several advantages.
