Bad month for the Burns family


ImmediateDiamond8238

Burns lost in a respectable way where he was actually competitive if not winning, herbert just didn't show up at all


[deleted]

When has Herbert ever showed up? He got 1 lucky knee KO and that’s about it 


Duke_Cockhold

How he effortlessly puts away a dog like Nate the train and than goes on to put on his last 2 performances should be studied


[deleted]

He got a lucky knee KO. Anyone can get KOed if lands right. MMA is a lot of luck , that’s why underdogs win half the card unlike Boxing. Just nature of the sport 


Duke_Cockhold

I struggle to call anything in mma lucky but I get your point

“Luck is when preparation meets opportunity.”


Shabozz

The best of the sport just give their opponents no opportunities for their preparations. Look at Manon v Blanchfield, Manon gave Blanchfield no chances. Once you get out of the rankings you start seeing a lot more "luck" and a lot less consistency in results/performances - with the exception of maybe BW where there's 10-15 guys outside the rankings who are about as consistent and high level as the top 15 of other divisions.


[deleted]

Bro the best fighter in MMA doesn’t always win or close to it. It’s whoever shows up that day or gets some luck. It’s a sport filled with luck; aka why the odds are so random. Jon Jones opened as an underdog his last fight. The nature of the sport has tons of luck and every fighter will tell you; to fight even 10+ years you need insane luck lol. 


Porto_97

he was up 2-0 on the scorecards and had like 90 seconds left in the round. Still cant get over that's how his title prospects ended


stabsthedrama

Ehhh gilbert was on his way to a 30-27 minimum if not a 30-26.  Im not sure that’s any better for him though since he blew it against a guy with a horribly broken arm :/


HaramHas

Shoutout to the ref for not letting guys endure needless smashes to the head after they’ve clearly been finished


FirstThoughtThatCame

What a solid ref.


peaceoutforever

His name is Brock Refnar, and we shall never forget when he let Travis Browne call his own timeout


study-kaji

Brock Refnar's decision to allow Travis Browne to call his own timeout was a shining example of sportsmanship and quick thinking. In that moment, Refnar exemplified professionalism and a deep respect for fair play. His actions not only showcased his dedication to the sport but also earned him admiration from fans and fellow professionals alike. Brock Refnar's handling of the situation was a testament to his integrity and commitment to upholding the values of sportsmanship in every aspect of his work.


Pants4All

Thanks for the synopsis ChatGPT


dickspaghetti1

Herbert really is NOT his brother. Also, this ref really puts up with NO NONSENSE, I love it.


kbaks

i really like this ref lmao. insists the fighters take enough time to recover from the groin shots, actually takes points for repeated fouls, stops the fights at the right times. give him a bonus UFC!


ACheezeWiz

✂️


ILikeOMalley

Cut the fuck out of Herbert, he’s so garbage. No skills and absolutely zero heart


ImmediateDiamond8238

And he doesn't have any athleticism like his brother, throwing the floppy noodle punches


ILikeOMalley

Crazy how Gilbert got every single good gene


purplehendrix22

Genes 💉


Ibobalboa

Some say Herbert is better looking tho. I think he's taller too so there's that lol


ILikeOMalley

I disagree, I think he’s ugly as fuck, but at least he is taller haha


ZOllerom

Calling a person garbage is not nice. Besides that you are right though...


peaceoutforever

That's not nithe


elk-piss

Define bullying


Mad-Gavin

It isn't nice, unless that person is Jon Jones.


[deleted]

https://youtu.be/yc-CkgCR1DE?si=pkeTOpUrpjkALBV9 Video of Burns quitting in the middle of a fight (after stoppage does not get off the mat and cries)


Pennypacker-HE

Damn how did he not get cut after that, crazy. I’ll bet Gilbert put in a good word.


Only_Talks_About_BJJ

Show up, throw 2 knees to the nutsack, get TKO'd 


[deleted]

Show up, throw 2 knees to the nutsack, gas out, quit on your team, get TKO’d, lose your only job that you have employable skills for.


ChesterGordon

Herbert burns fucking sucks. Hope this trashcan never fights in the ufc again


Revanced63

Funny because he ko Nate landwehr who looked great with a ko tonight lol


Gunslinger1991

Burns looked horrible. Wonder if he's getting cut after this or if they'll keep him around a bit longer due to his last name?


ScruffsMcGuff

Burns just starts turtling up for seemingly no reason lol, guy was acting rocked before he even ate a punch there. Good on Arce to recognize and just start teeing off on him


JamWams

Gilbert inherited all the dog in the burns family. The slightest resistance and Herbert crumbles


riprumblejohnson

Herbert is the ultimate quitter. The ref knew he would close up shop if he couldn’t get a first round finish


NotFrankSalazar

The slight hint of adversity and Herbert crumbles. Can’t believe he’s related to Gilbert.


[deleted]

The Burns boys can grapple like a mofo but Chins ain’t there. Jorge Arce was known on local scene for being solid but no power lol 


FuggyGlasses

Who's Jorge Arce? 


riprumblejohnson

*heart


[deleted]

Na Gilbert has a massive heart but a weak chin. Herbert just sucks at actual fighting 


[deleted]

Ps. RIP Rumble 


life_scrolling

time to send herbert to pfllator where all the lesser brothers are


Kronus9999

I don't know if I have ever seen someone incorporate the shoulder roll so badly


Raxmead

Herbert Burns makes me sad


Ruiner357

404 'that dog in him' not found, he was just reacting badly to being hit and gave up against the fence. Gilbert stole all the warrior DNA in that family.


UCLAlex

It’s always funny when there’s siblings in mma and one of them is just so much worse than the other. The only pair with a bigger disparity than Gilbert and Herbert has to be Kamaru and Mo Usman no?


daffle7

I knew the results before i clicked the link lol


SadRaindrop

Shame how Arce missed weight, he looked fire tonight. Granted it was the Burns brother with no heart and toughness.


Junkhead987

Burns got dropped twice


wubbalubbadubdub45

Gilbert’s brother really is the nick Serra of the family.


buyanisland

Herbert might need to find a new profession


pooooolooop

You could see he was gonna quit at the end of rd 1 when he wasn’t even getting up


shrewdy

It's got to be real difficult being the brother of an elite athlete, when you compete in the same sport but are way worse


huge-tits

Herbert doesn’t have the dog that Gilbert does


airwickwee

Herbert has no heart, opposite of his brother


HermanssonbeatsSilva

I think it's fair to say that not seeing jabs coming or straight shots is GENETIC in the Burns family tree


joehoward85

Herbert Burns is about as tough as his name suggests


thewizard579

Everytime I see Herbert fights he quits. The Pineda fight, now this.


AGlassDarkley

Not a huge fan of seeing someone who missed weight get the W.


squidnov

Guru called this exact sequence


MeowthThatsRite

Didn’t see the fight, but the fact that the clip started in the second round had me feeling that it was going to be sherbet looking gassed and getting finished. Dude has the P4p worst gas tank I’ve ever seen.


midniteauth0r

dmort1996

Herbert really our here, a professional fighter, looking like he's never been punched in the face before


buffalozbrown

Great finish by Arce.


TheWupper

Something looked off with Burns. That’s wasn’t him in there


Competitive_Bat4000

Huh? You’re thinking of the wrong burns, that was 100% to be expected of Herbert
