Jorge Masvidal has threatened to "kill" Gilbert Burns when he makes his Octagon return against the Brazilian at UFC 287 this April after over a year out of action.
The former world title contenders will meet at a venue that remains undecided, with Masvidal a sizeable underdog. Burns' most recent outing was a first-round win over Neil Magny at UFC 283 in Rio de Janeiro earlier in January after his own lengthy spell out of action.
Masvidal, meanwhile, is raring to go for his comeback after a tumultuous spell during which nemesis Colby Covington handed him his third consecutive defeat. The two-time title contender faces another tough test in Burns, who is ranked at No.5, six places higher than he is.
