Nobody hands you anything at welterweight. Gilbert Burns — "Durinho" to fight fans — has built a 22-10 record the hard way, one fight at a time since leaving Brazil's regional scene.
The ground is where fights end: 9 wins by submission (41% of the total). Scrambles that look even suddenly aren't.
He's coming off a loss to Mike Malott. Careers aren't defined by the fall, though; they're defined by the rebound.
At 40, the window is what it is — which tends to make every remaining fight more honest, and more dangerous.
