Shane Burgos Poised for Comeback in MMA After Extended Break

Shane Burgos, a seasoned fighter known for his stints in the UFC and the Professional Fighters League (PFL), is gearing up for a return to mixed martial arts following a significant hiatus. The 35-year-old athlete last stepped into the octagon in August 2023, where he faced Clay Collard and suffered a unanimous decision defeat.

In a recent Instagram post, Burgos announced his eagerness to re-enter the sport. "One more run," he stated, emphasizing his need for a break. "I needed that break from fighting. The weight cuts, the training camps, everything that goes into it burned me out. That’s in the past tho. I’ve never stopped working. I need to be back in that fire again. I miss it. Excited for whatever’s next."

With a professional record of 16 wins and 5 losses, Burgos has made a name for himself in the fighting community. He began his career in 2013 and debuted in the UFC in 2017, where he compiled an impressive 8-3 record before transitioning to the PFL in 2022. His resume includes notable victories over fighters like Bill Algeo, Cub Swanson, Billy Quarantillo, and Charles Jourdain.

As Burgos prepares for his next chapter, fans of the sport eagerly anticipate what lies ahead for this talented veteran.
