TORONTO – Gilbert Burns is ready to prove himself as a serious threat in the lightweight division after a successful performance at UFC 231. Burns (14-3 MMA, 7-3 UFC) defeated Olivier Aubin-Mercier (11-4 MMA, 7-4 UFC) by unanimous decision on Saturday at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto. The Brazilian improved to 3-1 in his past four fights with the impressive showing, and now he wants another step up. “I think I’m right there to break that top-15 door,” Burns told reporters, including MMAjunkie, post-fight at UFC 231. “Anyone who makes sense.” The victory helped Burns rebound from a knockout loss to Dan Hooker at UFC 226 in July
