Shane Burgos Says He’s Ready for One More Run in MMA

He says weight-cut and training-camp burnout prompted a long break but offers no confirmed fight, signing, or promotional plan.

Overview

  • Burgos posted on Instagram that he is refreshed and wants to return to competition after a nearly three-year layoff.
  • The 35-year-old began his pro career in 2013, fought in the UFC from 2017 to 2022, and holds a 16-5 professional record.
  • After leaving the UFC he signed with the PFL, went 1-2 there, and has not fought since a unanimous-decision loss to Clay Collard.
  • He said weight cuts and the grind of training camps burned him out but that he has kept training and now misses competing.
  • No bouts, contracts, or promotional confirmations have been announced, a development that will shape matchmakers’ and fans’ next steps.
