Gilberto “Durinho” Burns made his professional MMA debut last Saturday at Crown Fighting Championship 5, in Saint George, Utah, USA. The current Jiu-Jitsu world champion of the lightweight division put his slick submission skills to work and tapped out the dangerous José Salgado with a first-round rear-naked choke.
