He entered the UFC Copenhagen Octagon confident that he could outclass Nelson’s grappling game. His hopes came true as Gilbert Burns took home the decision win against Gunnar Nelson in today’s welterweight bout.<\/p>\n
The fight got off to a steady start as Gunnar Nelson was poised in a karate stance, firm and weighted in his leading leg, looking for openings.

Burns continued by calling out Neil Magny for a fight at UFC 245:<\/p>\n
“I want Neil Magny on December 14th. Let’s GO!”<\/p>\n
