Herbert Mitchell Pontes Burns (born February 2, 1988) is a Brazilian mixed martial artist who formerly competed in the Featherweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. He is the younger brother of fellow UFC fighter, Gilbert Burns.




Background


Burns was born in Niterói, Brazil, in 1988. He has two older brothers, Gilbert and Frederick, who both are also jiu-jitsu black belts. He played soccer and trained Shotokan karate under his father Herbert Sr. in his early childhood, eventually winning a state championship in the latter sport. As the interest in both sports gradually declined, Herbert started training Brazilian jiu-jitsu at the same time with his brothers when he was ten years old.
