Jorge Masvidal has rubbished claims from rival Gilbert Burns that he greased himself with lotion heading into their meeting at UFC 287 on Saturday night in Miami.
The two-time welterweight world title contender was defeated by Burns to go 0-4 since his tremendous 2019 run of three victories, and announced his retirement in the cage shortly after. But the good feeling between the pair came to an end quickly when Burns accused the hometown fighter of cheating in their fight.
Burns was hoping to land a statement victory that could have catapulted him into a shot at Leon Edwards' world title, but had to settle for a decision win instead. And he will likely need another big name win before he is considered for the welterweight belt, which he failed in winning during 2020.
