Gilbert Burns, a star of the UFC, became well-known because of his exceptional Jiu-Jitsu career and the tenacity with which he approached his early MMA career.

Who is Gilbert Burns’ brother, Herbert Burns?
Herbert Burns, a UFC fighter and the younger brother of Gilbert Burns, was born on February 2, 1988.
The younger of the Burns twins, Herbert Burns, currently represents the UFC in the featherweight division. “The Blaze” trained in Shotokan karate as a child and earned a state title.
But at around the same time that his older brothers started doing BJJ, the Brazilian boxer became interested in it.
After that, he advanced his mixed martial arts career while simultaneously winning the 2018 American Nogi Championship.
Niterói-born Markedly committed to ONE Championship after making his MMA debut in 2012. He started off his career 6-0 before going on a two-game losing streak.
When his contract with ONE Championship expired, he joined Titan FC. He was fortunate that the organisational change allowed him to bounce back from his slump.
Is Herbert Burns a UFC fighter?
The 35-year-old is under contract with the UFC and has earned a spot in Dana White’s Contender Series’ 2019 season. On episode 23, he faced off against Darrick Minner, and he easily defeated him by submission to secure a UFC contract.
Then, in January 2020, he faced Nate Landwehr in his UFC debut, and with yet another commanding victory, he announced his arrival on the world’s biggest stage.
Despite beating Evan Dunham at 252 pounds, the representative of The Way Martial Arts was plagued by worries about losing weight. But the 11-4 record holder lost his drive and is now back on a losing streak of two games.

What kind of bond exists between Gilbert and Herbert Burns?
The younger of the two brothers, Herbert, looks up to his elder brother. Whatever path “Durinho” took in his professional life, the flyweight fighter followed in his steps.
While pursuing his elder brothers, he joined them in their BJJ training. Soon, he was donning the MMA gloves and modelling himself after his more well-known sibling. He moved to UFC, which also brought them together. They developed into an odd example of two brothers pursuing the same objective.
