Jorge Masvidal has a bit of a weird future in the UFC after taking a big loss to Colby Covington earlier in the year. He may not fight for the welterweight title again but he does have some opportunities with the ‘BMF' title.

Everyone wants a chance to win the BMF title but there is a new name calling out Jorge Masvidal for a fight. Gilbert Burns recently told Unlocking The Cage that he is hoping the UFC will be interested in bringing the title back.

“I think a big fight that makes a lot of sense is Jorge Masvidal or Colby Covington. I kind of heard that Colby Covington wasn’t going to fight for a while because of the accident that happened between him and Jorge Masvidal.

“But I believe Jorge is going to be ready soon, and that’s the fight I’m looking for,” the UFC fighter said. “He had that BMF belt, I’m one of the BMFs of that division. He’s coming from a loss, I’m coming from a loss.

“I think he lost to Colby Covington which is the one he’s really mad about, and he kind of had a lot of blood on his mouth – so do I. I respect the guy a lot. I don’t judge the guy for his acts or for his last two losses.

“If you see, the guy has a couple of losses, but two losses to Kamaru – number one pound-for-pound, and for Colby Covington, number one in the world. So I don’t discredit the guy.

“But I do believe he’s going to try and put on a show. I’m going to try and finish him, he’s going to try and do the same. I just think it’s going to be a good fight. That’s the fight I’m looking for next,” the UFC welterweight concluded.
