Since joining the UFC in 2016, “Hurricane Shane” has definitely earned a reputation as an exciting fighter, showcasing an incredible gas tank, combined with poise and explosiveness. Now he’s ready for his name recognition to catch up with what he can do in the Octagon.
“I never thought about when I would get to this point since it really has always been about the title,” Burgos said. “I know getting main events and co-main event slots are important and all that because it shows that I’m making moves. I have to perform my best and I can’t wait to do what I do.”
Emmett faces Burgos coming off of back-to-back knockout wins over Mirsad Bektic and Michael Johnson. Those victories reminded people that Emmett has real power in his hands and proved that he is still a real threat at featherweight.
“He has knockout power, for sure, and he’s going to be willing to stand with me. If you’re in the way and he loads up that right hand and lands, he’ll knock your block off,” Burgos said of his opponent. “I’m going to dictate the range and be the cleaner striker on Saturday. It’s a great stylistic matchup for me and I’m going for the kill from the second it’s go time.”
Make sure you watch Burgos take on Emmett on ESPN and ESPN+ at 8pm ET / 5pm PT.
