Jorge Masvidal has rejected Gilbert Burns' plea to put his UFC 'bad motherf***er' belt on line in their April showdown.
Masvidal will return to the Octagon for the first time in several months when he takes on Gilbert Burns at UFC 287 on April 8. 'Gamebred' is once again looking to assert his status as a title contender in the welterweight division, despite having lost his last three fights, including two against Kamaru Usman.
While facing a pivotal outing in his career, Masvidal remains champion of the BMF belt, which he has held for over two years since beating Nate Diaz in November 2019. Burns made a public plea on Twitter for his upcoming foe to stake the title in the clash, writing: “Put that belt on the line! Everybody knows It’s only one guy in the @ufc that fights ANYONE!”
