UFC 287 just might be Jorge Masvidal’s last chance to make a run at becoming welterweight champion.
Masvidal, who’s on a three-fight losing streak, still remains one of the UFC’s biggest names, and on April 8 he meets top-ranked contender Gilbert Burns as a huge underdog. If Masvidal wins, it’s not out of the realm of possibility that he could earn another title shot after losing twice to then-champion Kamaru Usman.
Speaking of Usman, he meets champ Leon Edwards just a few weeks earlier at UFC 286 in London. If Edwards wins, a potential showdown with Masvidal looms if “Gamebred” pulls off the upset of Burns. The history between Edwards and Masvidal sets it up perfectly.
