UFC Welterweight Gilbert Burns still has frustrations about a certain losing performance on his record.
Burns is set at the head of UFC Vegas 106 on Saturday in the Apex. The experienced competitor returns to action after he had trouble working together in recent years.
Since the threat of a memorable title was Van Streek when he dropped Kamaru Usman early in the Pay-per-View Main Event in 2021, Burns has collected a negative 3-4 run in the Octagon.
And after lost his last three fights, the Brazilian is in the worst period results of his professional MMA career.
Although every defeat undoubtedly entails difficult feelings, Burns recently admitted that people poked more than the rest.

Gilbert Burns is honestly about how he acted against Sean Brady
Burns viewed his next game and rated his current position in the Welterweight Division while he appeared on UFC Vegas 106 Media Day on Wednesday.
He thought about the results that he pushed out of battle. The most recent loss of Burns came across Sean Brady, and the setback brought the most frustration.
“I look at these fights … The Belal [Muhammad] Fight I was wounded first two minutes of the fight. It happened, it's not his fault. The man went there, hit me, “Burns said.
“The Jack [Della Maddalena] Fight, I did a lot of things until I didn't. It is not an excuse. “Oh, I was winning,” yes, but I didn't win.
“But the last one was the one who looked up:” Man, I didn't show up. ” He bothered me the most.
Gilbert Burns has to defeat undefeated prospect Michael Morales if he wants to break his three-field loss Skid
The event of Saturday in Las Vegas offers the following opportunity for Burns to bounce back to the Win column, but winning the victory will certainly be easier said than done.
Standing on the Brazilian to a 16th UFC victory, Michael Morales will be an Ecuadorian prospect that all five of his fights in the promotion has won to push his perfect record to 17-0.
The 25-year-old comes from a emphatic first round knockout of Welterweight Supilaar Neil Magny, who marks a shared opponent between Morales and Burns.
Burns will enter UFC Vegas 106 as a large underdog. After having bravely performed under similar conditions versus both Usman and Khamzat Chimaev, the Brazilian will look to go a step further and lift his hand over Morales.
