Gilbert Burns has revealed three potential names for him to face next.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian is coming off a loss to Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 273<\/a> last weekend. Despite being a massive underdog going into the contest, Burns gave the undefeated fighter a lot of trouble. While he came up short via unanimous decision, he was given a ‘Fight of the Night’ bonus<\/a> for his efforts.<\/p>\n

Despite the loss, Burns arguably raised his stock in defeat. As such, he’s looking for a big fight next, and he’s thrown out a couple of names. Burns revealed in an interview with TSN<\/a>, that he’s looking to fight Nate Diaz, Nick Diaz, or Jorge Masvidal next.<\/p>\n

The reason why Burns wants to fight one of the aforementioned three is that he thinks he deserves a “money fight” next. It’s going to be hard to argue with him given that he fought Khamzat Chimaev when very few would accept the fight.<\/p>\n

“I’m going to take two, three weeks off at the most before I’m back in training. To be honest with you, I really want a big fight. Losing that fight was two steps back, even the way it was. People giving a lot of credit, the stock is up, but I want a title fight, and I went back a little bit. I’ve got to get a few more fights.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Burns continued, “Nate Diaz’s name is always on my mind. Nate or Nick, that’s a fight that I’ve always wanted to do. But, we’ll see, I think maybe [Jorge] Masvidal, then I’ll fight contenders again. I think I’ve earned the spot to get a big fight. I’ve just given the opportunity to fight Khamzat, we had a war. I feel the way the fight went, it gives me the opportunity to ask for a big fight.”<\/em><\/p>\n
