Gilbert Burns, the fourth-ranked fighter in the UFC welterweight rankings, has expressed his desire to face Colby Covington in the future. As Covington prepares to challenge Leon Edwards for the welterweight title, Burns sees himself as a potential opponent for Covington. Speaking as a Stake.com ambassador, Burns stated, ‘That is a fight that I would absolutely love to do at some point in the future. I’ve visualized that fight so many times.’
Burns believes he has the skills to finish Covington, either by knockout or submission. He plans to apply pressure and throw a barrage of strikes to make Covington uncomfortable. If Covington resorts to wrestling, Burns is confident in his grappling abilities and believes he can dominate on the ground. ‘Once I get him on the floor, that is my world, and he will not want to be there. If the fight ends up there, then I am really confident I can get the submission victory, if I haven’t already knocked him out by then.’
