Herbert Burns (born February 2, 1988)[13] is a Brazilian mixed martial artist currently competing in the Featherweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. He is the younger brother of fellow UFC fighter, Gilbert Burns.

Background

Burns was born in Niterói, Brazil in 1988. He has two older brothers, Gilbert and Frederick, who both are also jiu-jitsu black belts.[7] He played soccer and trained Shotokan karate under his father Herbert Sr. in his early childhood, eventually winning a state championship in the latter sport.[7] As the interest in both sports gradually declined, Herbert started training Brazilian jiu-jitsu at the same time with his brothers when he was ten years old.[7]

Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Burns made his professional debut in 2012 in the regional circuit, scoring a first-minute submission victory. After the debut, he was rapidly signed to ONE Championship where he amassed a record of 5–2 before transitioning stateside as his contract with the organization expired.[14]

Burns signed a four-fight contract with the Titan FC in November 2018.[14] He ended up fighting two bouts in the organization, winning both via submission.[15]

Dana White's Contender Series

After the short tenure in Titan, Burns was invited to participate in the Dana White's Contender Series 23 on August 9, 2019. He faced Darrick Minner, winning the bout via first-round submission, earning a UFC contract with the performance.[16]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Burns made his UFC debut against fellow newcomer Nate Landwehr at UFC Fight Night: Blaydes vs. dos Santos on January 25, 2020.[17] He won the fight via knockout in round one,[18] for which he also earned the Performance of the Night bonus.[19]

Burns faced Evan Dunham on June 6, 2020, at UFC 250 in a 150 lb catchweight bout.[20] He won the bout via rear-naked choke submission in round one.[21]

Burns faced Daniel Pineda on August 15, 2020, at UFC 252.[22] He lost the fight via technical knockout in round two.[23]

Burns was scheduled to face Billy Quarantillo on July 17, 2021, at UFC on ESPN 26.[24] However, Burns pulled out in early June due to undisclosed reasons and was replaced by Gabriel Benítez.[25]

As the first fight of his new four-fight contract, Burns was scheduled to face Khusein Askhabov on July 16, 2022, at UFC on ABC 3.[26][27] However, after Askhabov pulled out due to injury, Burns was booked against Bill Algeo.[28] Despite a tight triangle choke attempt, Burns lost the fight via technical knockout in round two after he was unable to return to his feet.[29]

Personal life

Burns has a daughter, Isadora (born 2009).[7]
