A ‘Fight of the Night’ contender is headed to New York.
Alex Behunin of Cageside Press previously reported that a featherweight fight between Shane Burgos and Charles Jourdain was being targeted for UFC 276. However, additional reporting from Marcel Dorff of Eurosport Nederland has clarified that Burgos vs. Jourdain will actually be featured at UFC Long Island, the Fight Night event scheduled for July 16 at the UBS Arena in Elmont.
Burgos has since confirmed the fight on social media.
Burgos began his UFC tenure with three consecutive wins over Tiago Trator, Charles Rosa and Godofredo Pepey.
