Shane Burgos’ highly anticipated Professional Fighters League debut will have to wait—at least for a while.
Burgos, an 11-fight Ultimate Fighting Championship veteran, was surprisingly not re-signed by the organization after his July win over Charles Jourdain and joined the PFL shortly thereafter. The 31-year-old New Yorker’s premiere was then slated for the 2022 Season Championships on Nov. 25. However, according to a PFL press release Monday, Burgos has been forced to withdraw from his scheduled bout with Marlon Moraes due to an unspecified injury. Burgos will be replaced by Sheymon Moraes, a fellow UFC veteran who has been with the PFL since 2019.
