UFC star Jorge Masvidal has made a violent promise to Gilbert Burns with the rivals on a collision course for next year.
Masvidal, 38, is hopeful of booking his next fight in the first quarter of next year after being sidelined with an injury following his decision loss to friend turned rival Colby Covington in March. The loss marked Masvidal's third defeat on the bounce, as the inaugural 'BMF' champion was beaten twice by former welterweight king Kamaru Usman before losing to Covington.
Burns claimed Masvidal turned down three fights against him in November, December and January as the Brazilian has now been booked to face Neil Magny at UFC 283. "Just letting everyone know that UFC offered me Masvidal three times, first time was for November 12. He said he needs more time, second time for December 10. Then he said he was going to fight me in Brazil and now he just said no again! So I guess the B from his BMF belt doesn’t stand for bad," Burns wrote.
