Burns last appeared at UFC 264, where he suffered in a third-round TKO loss against Kamaru Usman in a welterweight title bout. Prior to that, “Durinho” had been victorious in his last six promotional appearances, besting the likes of Tyron Woodley, Demian Maia and Gunnar Nelson in the process.
After a stretch in which he won just once in five bouts from November 2016 to March 2019, “Wonderboy” has rebounded to post consecutive decision triumphs over Vicente Luque and Geoff Neal. The South Carolina native is 11-4-1 during his tenure with the Las Vegas-based promotion.
