In the short training clips on the show when he was hitting the pads, Burnett looked really good with his hands, really fast. He came off as a likeable guy on the show and I thought it was cool also that Dana gave him words of encouragement. Yeah, it did seem to perk him up. That said, the UFC is a business and people would pay to see Mikey Burnett fight after hearing his story on the show. I think Dana sees that and hopefully will put him on a card in the near future. After Burnett saw himself on TV last night, you gotta think that he would not want to go out like that - without hardly even landing a punch on Thomas.
I think we will see him on a show and he will be cheered because everyone loves the underdog and a good comeback story.
