Gilbert Burns vs. Paul Felder added to UFC 208 in Brooklyn

A pair of lightweights looking to rebound from a recent loss is the latest addition to UFC 208.

Promotion officials today announced that Gilbert Burns (11-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC) and Paul Felder (12-3 MMA, 4-3 UFC) will meet at the event, which takes place Feb. 11 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y.

A submission ace, Brazilian lightweight Burns fought most recently in September, losing a hard-fought decision to countryman Michel Prazeres at UFC Fight Night 95.

Meanwhile, Felder fought on the same September card as Burns, with “The Irish Dragon” falling short via decision to Francisco Trinaldo. Prior to the loss, Felder had scored back-to-back wins over Josh Burkman and Daron Cruickshank.
