Shane Burgos’ debut with the PFL will have to wait until next year.
Burgos, who signed with the PFL earlier this year, has pulled out of his fight against fellow former UFC standout Marlon Moraes, which was scheduled to take place Nov. 25 at the 2022 PFL Championships event. A person with knowledge of the situation confirmed the withdrawal with MMA Junkie following an initial report by Ariel Helwani.
The promotion is looking for a replacement in hopes of keeping Moraes on the card for his debut.
Burgos (15-3 MMA, 0-0 PFL) finished his contract with the UFC on July 16 when he defeated Charles Jourdain by majority decision on the main card of UFC on ABC 3. The win put the 31-year-old on a two-fight wining streak after he’d lost two in a row against Josh Emmett and Edson Barboza in Fight of the Night bouts.
Meanwhile, Moraes (23-10-1 MMA, 0-0 PFL), a former World Series of Fighting champion, is on a four-fight losing streak, which marked the end of his UFC career. The Brazilian last recorded a win in December 2019 when he edged out Jose Aldo in a split decision at UFC 245.
