In today’s uber-competitive world of MMA, it’s common for fighters to do just about anything they have to do to get a shot at a world title. But in the case of Josh Burkman , he’s willing to wait a little longer for another crack at gold if that’s what needs to happen – and even can get behind someone else getting the next title shot ahead of him, even if it’s someone he beat rather decisively not long ago. Burkman (26-10) tonight meets Tyler Stinson (26-9) in a key welterweight bout at WSOF 9, which takes place at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. The main card airs on NBC Sports Network. Burkman fought for the inaugural WSOF welterweight title this past fall, but was stopped by Steve Carl in the fourth round
