On the night of May 20, UFC fighter Nursulton Roziboyev from Uzbekistan was greeted by fans, journalists, and members of the public at Tashkent International Airport.
In an interview with the media, Roziboyev expressed his readiness to fight 37-year-old Brazilian fighter Gilbert Burns.
In a video circulating on social media, Burns commented on Roziboyev's fight record and mocked the Uzbek fighter for competing against less formidable opponents.
"Gilbert Burns saw me train in the locker room during my second UFC fight. He's a 'chameleon'—he didn't say anything to my face but talks a lot online. If I get the chance, I'll take on Burns at 77 kg," Roziboyev said.
For context, Roziboyev has participated in 43 MMA fights, winning 34 and losing 9. The 30-year-old last fought in the UFC on ESPN tournament, where he lost on points to American Joaquin Buckley.
