Gilbert Burns and Belal Muhammad to co-headline UFC 288 in five-round fight.
Gilbert Burns and Belal Muhammad will co-headline UFC 288 on May 6 in Newark, New Jersey, in a short-notice welterweight contender bout contracted for five rounds. The winner will be in a strong position to challenge for the UFC welterweight title. The original co-main event, Charles Oliveira vs. Beneil Dariush, was postponed due to a minor Oliveira injury and will now take place at UFC 289 on June 10 in Vancouver. UFC president Dana White also announced four other upcoming UFC Fight Night main events.
