A welterweight clash pitting Gilbert Burns against Sean Brady is in the works for an Ultimate Fighting Championship event on Sept. 7.
Multiple outlets confirmed that Burns and Brady have verbally agreed to the pairing following an initial report from MagicM_MMABets on social media. The bout is expected to be a five-round headliner, but that has not been finalized at this time. The UFC Fight Night card will also include a featherweight showdown between Calvin Kattar and Kyle Nelson.
Burns is looking to rebound from the first two-bout skid of his professional career after dropping back-to-back outings against Belal Muhammad and Jack Della Maddalena. The 37-year-old former title challenger has bested the likes of Jorge Masvidal, Neil Magny, Stephen Thompson, Tyron Woodley, Demian Maia and Gunnar Nelson during his UFC tenure.
Brady, meanwhile, began his career with 15 consecutive triumphs before suffering a second-round TKO loss to Muhammad at UFC 280. The Renzo Gracie Philly product returned to the win column with a submission of Kelvin Gastelum at UFC on ESPN 52 this past December.
