On the 21st of January at the Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Gilbert Burns made his comeback to the octagon following a hiatus of nine months and defeated Neil Magny in a bout that lasted less than five minutes.
On the other hand, Jorge Masvidal is eager to go back on the winning track after suffering three consecutive defeats at the hands of Colby Covington once and Kamaru Usman twice.

Gilbert ranked sixth in the welterweight division, made his UFC debut in 2014, and has since gone 13-5. The Brazilian was knocked out by Kamaru Usman in the title bout at UFC258, but he bounced back to defeat Stephen Thompson in his next fight.
In his upcoming bout against Masvidal, Durinho hopes to not only get his 15th UFC victory but also earn a shot at the BMF championship belt. A recent tweet from the 36-year-old fighter included a tag from UFC president Dana White as part of his quest to earn his title shot.
”Come on @danawhite April 8 has to be 5 rounds! Put that belt on the line! Everybody knows It’s only one guy in the @ufc that fights ANYONE! #ufc287” Burns tweeted.
