The said match up begins to unfold as Gilbert Burns and his crew tested positive for the Corona Virus about a week before the fight. I am not saying that Gilbert Burns does not deserve the title showdown, he is a legitimate contender and the way he dominates his opponents lately is something to consider about. His last two wins versus Demian Maia and Tyron Woodley are all deserving for its Performance of the Night honors.
