No-shows Vegas main event
Burns lost to Michael Morales via TKO (punches) at 3:39 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
Impact
Burns was put in this position to serve as cannon fodder for one of the top prospects in the entire sport and he served his role to perfection. Entering as a +400 underdog, outside of one brief takedown which he was able to do nothing with, Gilbert was dominated from start to finish. Never a strong striker to begin with, Burns simply can't take a punch in the latter stages of his career. The lack of durability has left him unable to generate any offense of his own. The end result is a four-fight losing streak dating back to May 2023. The only positive you can say for Burns is that the four setbacks came against the current champion (Jack Della Maddalena), a former champion (Belal Muhammad), and two guys that are going to be fighting for a title sooner than later (Sean Brady, Morales). Set to turn 39 years of age in July, the UFC is going to have to be exceedingly careful who they match Burns up against moving forward if they plan on running him back out there.
