It takes a real man to apologize for something he feels he's done wrong, although he had no reason to. What a standup guy. Gilbert will forever have my respect

[BertleMcGertle]

Gilbert is a class act and a great example of a man.

[rodrigolivaresr]

You can tell he really felt bad and just went forward and recorded it, first take, no edits, just a sincere apology, respect

[LionAndALamb]

How can you not love Gilbert Burns? One of the few guys in the UFC who is man enough to stand up and say "that was wrong of me."

[Haze]

Takes a big man to do this 🙏 Big respect to both men

[psychopaul]

Heat of the moment accusations from Gilbert but takes a man to admit he's wrong an apologies mad respect

[charleschi]

A rare glimpse of true humility in the UFC. Burns just gained my full respect.

[mylesmcgee]

Mad respect to Gilbert for this takes a man to admit when he’s wrong

[garystringer]

That man is great in his own right. And seeing genuine humility within greatness is refreshing in this day and age.

[rationalright]

So much respect for this man for doing this 💪

[ChadwcKed]

Man.. I just keep liking Gilbert more and more. I was already a fan. Even when I wasn't necessarily following everything he does, I would have considered myself a fan. But this past year and a half or so, he's become one of my favorite fighters. Dude is just fuckin cool, in and out of the cage.

[Mikeyd]

I wanna take this time to apologize to

[Fauxadelic]

Yeah, he was definitely at gunpoint filming this. 😂😂

Edit: I'd like to take this time to apologize for assuming the respectable team of Masvidal would ever do such a thing. Jorge is a great guy and I wish him a happy retirement. 😬

[josephmontervino]

Man how can you not love this guy. He’s the man in all aspects

[garystringer]

This is how real men do. This warrior is pure class.

[jorvanrik]

Gilbert is a class act. He’s not afraid of Jorge or anyone he just realizes he may have overstepped and probably doesn’t want to be that guy. Great ♥️ and humility.

[PozzaPizz]

Burns is way too nice he didn't have to do this

[crouchingtiger]

He is slowly becoming my favorite fighter. Warrior in the octagon and class act outside

[boxingandmmastalk]

He don't want masvidal pulling up on him 😂

“I wanna apologize to avoid the sucker punch.”
