For anyone that sees Shane Burgos in person, or inside the octagon, it’s very clear he is not your typical featherweight.
Burgos competed recently at UFC 262 against Edson Barboza in the event’s Fight of the Night, taking home a $75,000 bonus despite suffering a bizarre KO loss in the third round. It was the second consecutive loss for the exciting 145-pound contender, and his third defeat overall of his career.
With all the work and sacrifice it takes for Burgos to make the featherweight limit behind the scenes, the 30-year-old sees a move up to lightweight coming at some point.
