Gilbert Burns will be getting a big fight his next time out.<\/p>\n

At UFC 273, Burns took the risk of fighting rising star Khamzat Chimaev, this despite being ranked much higher than ‘Borz’. The fight ended up being much closer than many anticipated, with the Swede edging out a close decision victory.\u00a0 While it was ultimately a losing effort for ‘Durinho’, Dana White was so impressed by his performance that he paid Burns his win bonus.<\/p>\n

Now, just a week-and-a-half later, Burns said he met with White and during their talk, the UFC boss promised him a big fight next. However, the Brazilian doesn’t know who exactly that will be, but he is certainly eager to find out.<\/p>\n

\u201cI expected the win, but it happens. It had a great repercussion, everybody liked the fight,\u201d Burns said to AG Fight<\/a>. “Yesterday, I had a meeting with Dana White, he was thrilled. He said my next fight is going to be a big one. I don\u2019t know who it\u2019s going to be against, but I liked what he said. He promised me a big fight. I chose to believe him and I\u2019m at ease now. Let\u2019s wait and see.”<\/p>\n

After his last fight, Gilbert Burns called out the Diaz brothers or Jorge Masvidal<\/a>, as he believes he’s earned a “big name”. It appears Dana White agrees with him, but it may not be one of those three.<\/p>\n

Regardless of who he fights next, Burns says he plans on signing a new deal with the promotion.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s almost certain that they\u2019ll give me a new contract.\u201d Burns said. \u201cI renewed it in my fight against Usman. It was six fights. I fought Kamaru, Thompson and now Chimaev. I still had three more to go, but it\u2019s \u2018promised\u2019 that they\u2019ll give me a new one. I hope it all works out. It\u2019s not certain, but I think I can ask for a new one after a performance like that.\u201d<\/p>\n
