Following his huge victory over Stephen Thompson at UFC 264, Burns has gone on a callout spree, challenging the likes of Nate Diaz, Jorge Masvidal and Edwards.
The Brazilian recently uploaded a video to his Twitter account in which Dana White states that it will “probably be a good idea” for Edwards to compete in another fight before he earns a title shot.
Responding to the tweet, ‘Rocky’ fired a scathing shot at Gilbert Burns:
Edwards’ “snake” reference can be alluded to Burns’ UFC 258 title fight against his former teammate Kamaru Usman. In the third round of the fight, Usman defeated Burns via TKO.
The pair trained together for almost eight years at Blackzilians and Sanford MMA. In 2020, ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ decided to part ways with Burns. He is currently training at ONX Sports under famed coach Trevor Wittman.
Will Gilbert Burns fight Vicente Luque?
