Who is fighting on UFC 288 undercard this weekend?

Gilbert Burns And Belal Muhammad will clash in the co-main event UFC 288 This weekend, Henry Cejudo challenges Aljamene Sterling for the bantamweight title.

Burns is making a quick turnaround, having fought his last fight just a month ago. The Brazilian defeats Jorge Masvidal at UFC 287 to get closer to a second shot at the welterweight title, and if he could beat Muhammad he could secure the bout.

The American Muhammad has won eight straight fights with the exception of a no contest against Leon Edwards in 2021, a year before Edwards won the welterweight title. Muhammad will now look to use his history with the defending champion to overcome Burns and get a shot at the gold.
