Kevin Burns Talks UFC 85 Match Against Roan Carneiro
UFC 85 is just days away, and Kevin “The Fire” Burns may be more excited for the event than anyone. Burns was called in on short notice to replace Ryo Chonan and fight Brazilian UFC fighter Roan Carneiro. The fight will be Burns’ first fight in the UFC, which will take place in England and will be headlined by Matt Hughes and Thiago Alves.
Today on MMAPredictions Radio we’ll speak with Kevin Burns, whose first exposure to combat sports came at the hands of his sister, who trained Tae Kwon Do. Burns received his black belt in TKD and now trains Brazilian jiu-jitsu. In August 2006 he went pro in mixed martial arts and has even racked up an 11 second victory over Josh Neer.
