Gilbert Burns

I'm tryin'...

This felt a little bit less like Gilbert Burns has moved up to welterweight and now he's a l- a legitimate real player, and, uh, this felt a, little bit more like Joel Alvarez moves up to welterweight, and I'm not seeing quite the same dynamism I'd hoped, uh, that I used to see from Bahamondes.

Uzi Belgoroly puts Jordan Santos to the sword.

We all knew that was coming.

That was 11 years ago.

But his wins, his wins are to Jim Miller, Gilbert Burns, James Vick, Al Iaquinta, Paul Felder, And Matias Gemrock.

A few other guys.

Jalen Turner, Claudio Pellez, Nasrat Hakbarast.

And, uh, Claudio Pellis as well to, to go three in a row.

Now he good wins before I'd be the likes of Paul Felder, you know, Gilbert Burns and everything like that.

But everyone knows what type of fighter Dan Hooker is.

He's, you know, balls to the wall, go all out to knock his opponent, big knees up through the middle, big strikes.

Using jujitsu

... yeah, 'cause you got guys like, um, you know, Gilbert Burns who d- he had a great run, right? But he didn't really use his jujitsu a ton.

[laughs] No.

Or like-

Like these are the things that people want to see.

Uh, Even if you threw a jiu-jitsu guy like a Gilbert Burns in there, that would be interesting too.

But the Bilal Colby thing, I feel like the build-up and the post-fight will be interesting, and the match will be a nothing burger.

Yeah, Dustin Poirier, Colby Covington, never going to happen.

And your stand-up game is also pretty spot-on, too.

Big victories over Kevin, I always say his name wrong, Gaslam, Gilbert Burns, and recently, you know, Joaquin Buckley.

Now, your schedule.

Now, this is fascinating to me.

Isaac Malof, who was your pick-

Well, I, I pr- I mean, I picked Gilbert Burns to beat him, which he did, so I mean, um, I, I don't always pick against him.

Sometimes, you know? But the thing is, like, I expected Ramiz to get a f- to get a finish here on this one, you know? And, uh-

Bro, Ramiz looked horrible.

But, man, you look at Morales.

I mean, round one finishes is against Sean Brady, Gilbert Burns and Neil Magny.

I mean, look, I know, you know, Burns and Magny are a little longer in the tooth or whatever.

But still, you go out there and get three first round finishes against those guys like you're there.
