If Neil does get to play Burns as much as he wants, he hopes it will be a Main Event slot. He knows it’s going to be a very interesting fight for the fans, and Neil believes he’ll raise his hand, and will likely do so while the game is suspended.
With Neal’s confidence, he believes that a stoppage-time win over Burns can win him the title. “Yes, it might depend on how I beat Gilbert and the state of the division and what the fans want, ‘ Neil said. “Maybe (my next fight is for the belt) if I do well and take Gilbert away in a fashion-dominant fashion.”
Jeff should have Neil got the Gilbert Burns game he wanted, which he hopes will happen this year. Neal wants to be positive and wants to have a year-end battle with the Brazilian.
