1 hour 17 minutes

Text me a question for the show

Gilbert Burns is a UFC welterweight contender who will headline UFC in February. "Durinho" was in the lightweight division of the UFC for a handful of years, but has given himself a title shot after moving up to welterweight and reeling off four straight wins. A decorated jiu jitsu blackbelt, the former world BJJ champion talks about his humble beginnings outside of Rio de Janeiro, chasing greatness in the world of Brazilian jiu jitsu, and turning his focus to being a UFC champion.

Look for Gilbert as he tries to realize that UFC championship when he takes on Kamaru Usman on February 13th!
