Gilbert Burns
- Odds: -435
- Record: 20-5-0
- Age: 36
- Height: 1.78 m
- Weight: 77 kg
- Reach: 180 cm
Since joining the UFC, the Brazilian has been on an inconsistent run until he put together a streak of six consecutive wins that catapulted him to a welterweight title fight. It was in Las Vegas at the beginning of 2021, but Kamaru Usman (Nigerian) defeated him by technical knockout in three rounds.
Since then, he has one win against Stephen Thompson, and one loss, in his last match, against Khamzat Chimaev (Russian).
Nicknamed Durinho, his record shows that fourteen of his twenty victories were achieved by fast track. In his long career, he has earned five performance bonuses: one for Fight of the Night and four for Performance of the Night thanks to his victories over Christos Giagos, Alex Oliveira, Demian Maia, and Tyron Woodley.
Neil Magny
- Odds: +320
- Record: 27-10-0
- Age: 35
- Height: 1.91 m
- Weight: 77 kg
- Reach: 203 cm
Neil Magny, known as The Haitian Sensation, is looking for his second consecutive victory after defeating Daniel Rodriguez via submission last November, which earned him the Performance of the Night bonus. Besides, his large reach can work in his favor.
He entered the UFC in 2013 and seemed destined for greatness, but in recent years he has struggled with consistency, preventing him from stringing together many wins in a row.
JefeBet Prediction
Gilbert Burns has a better present situation and, despite the physical disadvantage in terms of height and reach, his firepower makes it likely that he will come out on top against a Magny full of performance ups and downs that let us doubt about his future.
Prediction: Gilbert Burns wins by unanimous decision.
