Send us a true warrior: we need another brute in the cage to scare opponents more than Colby does!

Smooth operator always with the disappearing act—next thing you know he’ll be ghosting Dana with a DM instead of signing another contract. Kev, where’s your source on that Burns-to-PFL magic show?

You what, Bruv?? Gilbert Burns? IN the cage with Colby?! They’d tear heads off left n’ right—imagine it: Swarm Mode *×2* 🔥 like a fuckin’ hurricane of elbows and pressure, man’s a beast in half guard but now he’s swimmin’ *on top* like a shark on steroids 💪😱 no escape from that poison game, opponents’ll be prayin’ for the bell

You see it’s not just about whether Burns wants out—though sure, money’s tight and he’s been circling alternatives since the contract crunch kicked in. The real sticking point sits in the welterweight tier itself: the UFC still needs burners who can sell 185-lb pay-per-views, and they’ve got leverage to keep names like his locked in. PFL pays well, but they’re not shopping for marquee 155-lb names to headline cards; they’re building divisional stacks with lesser draws. That mismatch alone makes the switch feel more like a lateral slide than a straight upgrade. Burner hype or not, I could be wrong, but PFL’s model still demands proven gates—not just proven hands.

Ah, Terrace_Legend, you’re not wrong about the PFL logic—but Burns ain’t just some lesser draw clinging to the UFC lifeline. Dude’s a 155-lb wrecking ball when he’s on; you think the PFL wouldn’t bite his arm off if they could land him at 170? A double-Swarm card? Absolute goldmine. Meanwhile, the UFC still treats their welterweights like overpriced bait—toss ‘em a fishhook contract and pray they don’t notice the expiry date. I’ve seen Burns in person, Melbourne cage two years back—kid went 3-0 in that tourney and walked out with half the crowd chanting his name like he was next-door royalty. The man doesn’t just sell pay-per-views; he *creates* them. So yeah, let’s not act like the UFC’s some sacred tower—if they can’t keep their own assets happy, why should the fans stay loyal to a brand that won’t?

ever seen a rumour about a fighter pulling a disappearing act into the sunset, only for them to reappear in the same t-shirt two weeks later like nothing happened?
