UFC featherweight contender Shane Burgos provided an update following his scary TKO loss to Edson Barboza at UFC 262. Barboza and Burgos opened up the UFC 262 pay-per-view card with an exciting “Fight of the Night” slugfest between the two highly-skilled strikers. Burgos had a lot of success with his hands early on, but Barboza was also punching back and landing some nasty low kicks along the way. It was one hell of a fight and it appeared destined to head to the judges’ scorecards, but in the third round, Barboza was able to connect with a right hand on Burgos that resulted in “Hurricane” having a delayed reaction, stumbling backwards, and falling down. Barboza immediately pounced and the fight was stopped via third-round TKO.
