Shane Burgos

When Shane Burgos scored a hard-fought decision over Charles Jourdain just a couple weeks ago at UFC Long Island, the Featherweight contender fulfilled the final fight of his UFC contract. Burgos opted to fight out his contract, essentially betting on himself to perform well and win, lest he enter the open market on a rough patch.

Shane Burgos fought out his UFC contract and although he wants to stay with the promotion he is hoping to hear other offers in free agency. Burgos is coming off a fan-friendly decision win over Charles Jourdain in a fight both men threw down. After the fight, Burgos revealed he had fought out his contract and although he wants to remain a UFC fighter he says it wouldn’t be right if he didn’t hear what other promotions would offer him.

With free agency looming, UFC featherweight Shane Burgos plans to see what his value is to the open market. “You want to see what you’re worth, and what other people think you’re worth,” he said on The MMA Hour. “You know what you’re worth, so you want to see if it matches.”

At UFC Long Island, which took place this afternoon (Sat., July 16, 2022) live from inside UBS Arena at Belmont Park in Elmont, N.Y., Featherweight bangers Charles Jourdain and Shane Burgos went toe-to-toe for 15 minutes, both hoping to make some noise in the 145-pound division. And they didn’t disappoint....

Shane Burgos had to survive a late comeback attempt from Charles Jourdain, but he still did enough to get the job done in a back-and-forth battle at UFC Long Island. The difference in the fight was Burgos’ grappling as he repeatedly took Jourdain to the canvas and threatened him with submissions, which also ate a lot of time off the clock. Despite a valiant attempt from Jourdain to storm back in the third round, it ultimately wasn’t enough, with the judges scoring the fight 29-28, 29-28, and 28-28, giving Burgos the nod via majority decision.

A highly anticipated featherweight contest featuring Shane Burgos taking on Charles Jourdain takes place on today’s UFC Long Island main card. Burgos (14-3 MMA) last competed in November of 2021 at UFC 268, where he scored a unanimous decision victory over Billy Quarantillo. The victory snapped a two-fight losing skid for ‘Hurricane’.

Even Shane Burgos was surprised to find himself as the lone “New York guy” on the main card for the UFC’s first Long Island event in five years. “It’s a little weird. I feel like maybe they didn’t know they were going to be in Long Island because I feel like there’s a s–t ton of fighters from Long Island,” Burgos said Wednesday during the UFC Long Island media day in Uniondale. “We’ve got LAW [Longo and Weidman] MMA right down there. I’ve got a bunch of teammates that live over here. I’m surprised I’m the only one. “But I’ll take that...
