Gilbert Burns offers to fight Dustin Poirier on his welterweight debut

UFC sensation Gilbert Burns has offered to fight Dustin Poirier and welcome him to the welterweight division.

Over the course of the last few months, Gilbert Burns has strengthened his position as a real fan favourite within mixed martial arts. The Brazilian is easily one of the best 170 pounders on the planet but in addition to that, he also has the sort of ‘never say die’ attitude that fits perfectly alongside his babyface personality.

In his most recent outing at UFC 273, he went toe-to-toe with the man many feared to face – Khamzat Chimaev.

He may not have been able to get his hand raised but he did give ‘Borz’ all he could handle in what was easily a Fight of the Year contender.

After tasting defeat, Burns’ stock is somehow higher than it’s ever been with UFC president Dana White even promising him a big fight in his next contest.

A few different names have been thrown around but now, ‘Durinho’ has called his shot by responding to a tweet sent out by Dustin Poirier.

170?
