Gilbert Burns isn’t 100 percent sold that Jorge Masvidal will stay retired from MMA. “Right now he’s retired, and as a title contender he’s retired, but for big money fights against (Conor) McGregor or Nate Diaz or another big name, I think he returns,” Burns recently told MMA Junkie in Spanish . Burns (22-5 MMA, 15-5 UFC) was the final opponent of Masvidal’s career as the two fought in the co-main event of UFC 287 earlier this month in Miami. Immediately after Burns was announced the winner by unanimous decision , Masvidal (35-17 MMA, 12-10 UFC) revealed to the world that it would be his final performance, putting an end to a 20-year career. Masvidal cited no longer feeling as skilled as he once was as the main reason for his retirement from fighting. Burns thinks “Gamebred” is being too harsh on his self assessment, as he thinks Masvidal is still at a good skill level
