Back To His Grappling Roots, Durinho Eyes SUG4 Clash With Combs
UFC fighter and IBJJF No-Gi World Champion Gilbert 'Durinho' Burns is back in the competitive landscape of jiu-jitsu. This time, the black belt faces John Combs at Submission Underground 4 on Sunday May 14.
Two-time World No-Gi champion Burns is excited to return to competition Jiu-Jitsu. The black belt did all his training at Combat Club in Florida, enlisting the help of Victor Silverio, AJ Sousa, and his brother, Herbert Burns.
Combs is a frequent competitor both gi and no-gi. While still a brown belt, he won the IBJJF Pans in 2016. In addition, Combs has impressive victories over high level grapplers such as Marcos Tinoco.
What does he think about the duel? he says the following in an exclusive video.
They asked about my preparation, my preparation is really good. I’ve been training a lot of wrestling, a lot of grappling and a lot of jiu-jitsu for this fight. Couldn’t have a better preparation.
John Combs, he’s a very tough guy. He’s coming up, doing some great fights. He’s very tough, I have nothing bad to say about him. I’m really looking forward to this fight, I think it’s going to be a great match-up, and I’m looking forward to putting on a show.
