EXCLUSIVE:- PFL Star Shane Burgos States ‘Too Good To Be True’ Offer Lured Him Away From the UFC

Shane Burgos has been making waves in the world of mixed martial arts. His last bout against Charles Jourdain was a standout moment, securing a spectacular victory for the New Yorker. However, Burgos wasn’t content to rest on his laurels and decided to switch to the PFL, much to the surprise of fans and the UFC alike. In an exclusive interview with EssentiallySports, ‘Hurricane’ revealed the alluring reason behind his move to the PFL – a deal too tempting to refuse. The UFC even acknowledged the sense behind Burgos’ decision. During the interview, Burgos discussed the generosity of the PFL and expressed his hopes for big names to join the promotion. With its generous deals, the PFL is positioning itself to become the top dog in the world of MMA.

PFL made an offer that can’t be refused

The 31-year-old Burgos revealed about his move to PFL. He said they made tempting offer that was simply too good to pass up. The fighter candidly admitted that the financial package was the driving force behind his decision, “Just to put it bluntly, the money(laughs),”

He further added, “They(PFL) made me an offer that I was like, I can’t say no. Like, the UFC even understood. They were like, ‘Yeah, he can’t. He can’t say no to that.’ It’s a deal that was just too good to be true. It wasn’t too good to be true, because I’m not the only one that’s got this. So, props to the PFL for handling out these deals to other guys, too.”

Francis Ngannou in PFL makes all the sense for Shane Burgos

According to Shane Burgos, PFL is doing a great job building their roster, and he wouldn’t be surprised if they offer Francis Ngannou a generous deal to bring him on board as well. When asked if he’d like to see ‘The Predator’ be the next one to join PFL, the New Yorker said, “Absolutely. I think every single promotion on the face of this earth is gonna make an offer. I know, Bellator, BKFC already put their name in there. UFC obviously wanted to keep him, so that makes it even more lucrative for these other promotions to want him.”

‘Hurricane’ further reflected on Ngannou’s decision to leave the UFC and he has all the respect for him for that move. “He’s the first guy to go out as a champion. Right? I believe… So, to go out as the champ, that’s pretty f*cking wild. And, nothing but respect for what he did. I think it was a f*cking boss move honestly,” said Shane Burgos.

Now if Francis Ngannou joins the promotion too, it could be the cherry on top for PFL, putting them in an even stronger position to compete with the big players in the game. With these top-notch fighters on board, the sky’s the limit for PFL and its future looks brighter than ever.
