Gilbert Burns still thinks he has what it takes to become UFC welterweight champion. Burns (22-7 MMA, 15-7 UFC) was just over a minute away from beating Jack Della Maddalena (18-2 MMA, 7-0 UFC) at UFC 299 before a costly mistake led to him being knocked out in Round 3 . Two of the three judges had him up 20-18 heading into the third. The former title challenger now has dropped two straight, but he won’t let those setbacks deter him from his title hopes. “I’m 37, I’m not getting any younger, but I do believe I have everything I need to become a champion,” Burns said on his YouTube channel
