Maybe \u2018Wonderboy.\u2019 But to be honest, right now I don\u2019t know. I just saw Colby-Leon I don\u2019t think is going to happen. That was the one that should happen. We\u2019ll see. Now we\u2019ve got some time, especially with the whole division laid off like that. It looks Kamaru is going to fight (Jorge) Masvidal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne fight and back to the title would only be Colby Covington. That\u2019s the only one. Or Leon Edwards, if until May he doesn\u2019t get another opponent, and then I fight him. That\u2019s the fight. So I don\u2019t know who I want. I want every single one of these guys. I\u2019ll fight Khamzat. I\u2019ll fight \u2018Wonderboy.\u2019 I\u2019ll fight Michael Chiesa. It depends. If the UFC says you need two fights, then I\u2019ll be a little bit behind on the rankings and then a guy up front on the rankings, but if they say one fight, OK, give me Colby Covington.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On social media after the defeat, Burns was <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/ufc\/gilbert-burns-on-knockout-loss-to-kamaru-usman-this-is-what-happens-when-you-are-chasing-greatness\/\">honest in his assessment<\/a> of what happened in the defeat to Usman.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Didn\u2019t get the results I wanted Saturday. This is what happens sometimes when you are chasing greatness. I gave this my all. Best preparation hands down felt very good, And it was clear not enough. I\u2019m down but never out. I believe everything happens for a reason. I believe and serve god! This is my journey, no excuses, no regrets.<br \/>\nThanks to everyone for the kind messages and support. It really means a lot to me appreciate you guys!
