Shane
Burgos has been quiet for nearly three years, but it appears
that’s about to change.
In a post on Instagram, the
UFC and
Professional Fighters League veteran indicated that he was
ready to return to mixed martial arts. The 35-year-old Team Tiger
Schulmann representative hasn’t competed since suffering a
unanimous decision loss to Clay
Collard under the PFL banner in August 2023.
Refreshed and Ready
“One more run,” Burgos wrote. “I needed that break from fighting.
The weight cuts, the training camps, everything that goes into it
burned me out. That’s in the past tho. I’ve never stopped working.
I need to be back in that fire again. I miss it. Excited for
whatever’s next.”
Burgos debuted in the UFC in 2017, compiling a 8-3 record in the
Las Vegas-based organization over the course of a tenure that
concluded in 2022. “Hurricane” then signed with the PFL, where he
went 1-2 before taking an extended hiatus. Burgos owns a 16-5 mark
overall, beginning his pro career in 2013. He owns notable
victories against the likes of Bill Algeo,
Cub
Swanson, Billy
Quarantillo and Charles
Jourdain.
