    Gilbert Burns Retires Following UFC Winnipeg Loss

    Gilbert ‘Durinho’ Burns has retired from UFC following his round three TKO loss at UFC Winnipeg on Saturday night against Mike Malott.

    Gilbert Burns is 22-10 in his career, but sadly, he leaves on a five fight losing streak. Gilbert’s last win was against Jorge Masvidal in 2023. But, his last five losses were against tough competition, including former champions and rising challengers.

    For Gilbert, this is the end of a long career which started in 2012. Following his loss on Saturday, Gilbert Burns, alongside his coaches, brother, wife and kids, gave an emotional speech and thanked each one of them. He also thanked the fan, and everyone who helped him in his career.

    Despite the 39 year olds career being in the down slope in recent years, Burns has beaten some legendary names including the likes of Stephen Thompson, Damien Maia and Tyron Woodley, all while being on a six fight win streak at the time.

    Gilbert Burns is a bonafide legend in the game, and we wish him the best in his retirement.
