Former UFC welterweight title challenger Gilbert Burns is game to fight Joaquin Buckley next. Buckley (19-6 MMA, 9-4 UFC) is 4-0 since dropping back down to welterweight, most recently defeating highly touted Nursulton Ruziboev (34-9-2 MMA, 2-1 UFC) in Saturday’s UFC on ESPN 56 co-main event in St. Louis.
