Herbert Burns has now lost two fights in a row

Herbert Burns has seen better days in the UFC. With his loss at UFC Fight Night: Ortega vs. Rodriguez, the 34-year-old is now on a two-fight skid. Burns had a good start in the organization. After finishing Darrick Minner on Dana White's Contender Series, 'The Blaze' got a chance to showcase his skills against Nate Landwehr in January 2020. Burns scored a flashy knockout and won the Performance of the Night bonus. The Brazilian then went up against Evan Dunham in a catchweight bout at UFC 250. The fight turned out to be a walk in the park for Burns. He finished Dunham with a rear-naked choke in the opening minutes of the first round. However, 'The Blaze' went on to lose his next two fights. Now, with his recent injury on July 16, it will be some time before Herbert Burns is seen in the UFC octagon again.
