Gilbert Burns
- Odds: -500
- Record: 21-5-0
- Age: 36
- Height: 1.78 m
- Weight: 77 kg
- Reach: 180 cm
Gilbert Burns is a very experienced fighter from Rio de Janeiro, very well ranked among the welters, although like his opponent he lost the opportunity to win the title of the category after being knocked out by Nigerian Kamaru Usman. After a bad 2022, in which he lost his only fight, he came back strongly in January with a quick submission against Neil Magny.
A win over Masvidal could give him another shot at the welterweight belt. An expert in jiu jitsu and wrestling, Burns, who goes by the nickname Durinho, specializes in submission, as he has finished nine of his 21 victories by that method.
Jorge Masvidal
- Odds: +370
- Record: 35-16-0
- Age: 38
- Height: 1.80 m
- Weight: 77 kg
- Reach: 188 cm
With a long and prosperous career in the UFC, Jorge Masvidal has had little activity during the last three years. During that time, he has fought once every twelve months, and all of those encounters ended in defeat. The Miami native will return to the octagon more than a year after losing to Colby Covington.
After a decade with the organization, the opportunity for a title came quite late for him. It was in two epic fights against Nigerian fighter Kamaru Usman, the first in 2020 where he lost by decision, and the rematch in 2021, which saw him lose by KO. Almost 50% of his victories were achieved before the limit.
JefeBet Prediction
Burns is a great fighter who deserves another title shot and he will face a retiring opponent. That is why at JefeBet we believe that the Brazilian will show no mercy and will quickly finish the fight.
Prediction: Gilbert Burns wins by KO.
