During his time in the UFC, Shane Burgos was a huge favorite under the fan base, because he was consistently involved in some incredible fights.
When he was part of the UFC -Fedweight Division, Shane Burgos was almost a permanent match in the ranking, despite the fact that he never went to the next level.
'Hurricane' Shane became apparently satisfied with the fact that he would probably never win a UFC title and make his name as one of the most exciting hunters in the sport, which made his body at stake with every outing.
In his 11 UFC fights, Burgos won four different occasions from the night, making him a reliable hunter for the promotion to lean on.

Shane Burgos argues for UFC -3
After a victory over Charles Jourdain in 2023, Burgos shocked that he left the UFC to become a member of the PFL, where he is fighting in their $ 1 million lightweight tournament.
At the time, UFC boss Dana White admitted that the promotion 'F – -Up' by letting the fan go favorite, which is extremely rare that the UFC Baas does.
“That was a mistake (let him go), you know. I like the child. Listen, I think Shane Burgos would continue and be a world champion and all this? No. But he is fun. He is fun. I think guys who come out and they bring it every time they fight and boys who want to perform and boys who want to win,
“Who has it more than that child? I am happy for him, I am happy for him and also good for the PFL. He is a great child and not just an exciting, fun hunter, he is a great person, so good for everyone involved. We are not perfect, but we are not often, but we f – that one up,” White went on.
And now, after the loss of Burgos against Clay Collard, he is again a free agent and has argued for a return to the UFC.
“There is one option for me in my head, I want to finish my career in the UFC. I went to the PFL, and I have zero regret, afterwards 2020 and again, I have zero, I earned good money there,” said Burgos fighting inside.
“I just want to finish my career in the UFC, and I think every hunter knows that the most important organization in the world is the UFC. When it is all said and done, I want to put my gloves in the UFC Cage,” he continued.
Burgos further suggested that he is going to 'stay ready', the case there is a short -term chance, which states that the UFC can trust him.
Shane Burgos suffered one of the most bizarre ko losses ever
During his six-year term of office in the UFC, the 34-year-old fought against a number of big names in the featherweight division, including Calvin Kattar and Josh Emmett.
One of the biggest fights of his career, however, came across UFC legend Edson Barboza.
After an incredibly close fighting back and forth, Barboza connected with a big blow in round three, who hurt Burgos. “Hurricane” Shane recovered from the blow.
And then he gradually started stumbling backwards and then ended up on the mat, no idea of what had just happened. The delayed Response Ko will fall as one of the most bizarre in the UFC history.
