Gilbert Alexander Pontes Burns (born 20 July 1986) is a Brazilian-American professional mixed martial artist and submission grappler. He currently competes in the Welterweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). As of 11 November 2025, he is #12 in the UFC welterweight rankings.

Burns is an IBJJF World Jiu-Jitsu Champion (gi and no-gi), CBJJ Brazilian Champion, UAEJJF World Pro Champion, European Open medallist, and ADCC Submission Fighting World Championship medallist.

He is the older brother of former UFC fighter Herbert Burns.

Background

When Burns was young, his father offered to fix a customer's car in exchange for three months of jiu-jitsu lessons for all of his boys. Burns started training at Academia Associação Oriente, an affiliate of Nova União led by Welton Ribeiro.

He was given the nickname 'Durinho' after his older brother was called 'Todo-Duro' which roughly translates as a tough guy, and the suffix -inho was added for Burns to indicate the diminutive, or a little tough guy.

Grappling career

He trained with Nova União until the 2007 World Championship, where he came in second place.

In 2009, Burns became recognized when he won the silver medal at the World Jiu-Jitsu Championship.

In 2010, Burns attained a high level of international success competing worldwide. He reached the semifinals of the European Open in January; he defeated heavy favorite Celso Venicius at the World Pro Cup trials; he won the World Cup finals in Abu Dhabi against Claudio Mattos, and he won the Brazilian Nationals in May.

In 2011, Burns achieved his highest recognition as he won the gold medal in the 2011 World Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Championships.

In 2015, Burns won bronze at Abu Dhabi Submission Wrestling championships (ADCC).

In November 2020, Burns challenged Nate Diaz to a grappling match on an upcoming Submission Underground event, but the match didn't come to fruition.

Burns faced Rafael Lovato Jr. in the main event of Who's Number One on 30 April 2021 and won a unanimous decision.

He then fought against Lucas Barbosa in the main event of BJJ Stars 7 on 6 November 2021. Burns lost by submission after being caught in a rear-naked choke.

In 2012, Burns was chosen by UFC fighter Vitor Belfort to be the head grappling coach for Team Vitor on the first season of The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil.

Burns was linked to a fight with Lando Vannata on 14 April 2018 at UFC on Fox 29.
