Shane Burgos vs. Billy Quarantillo

Shane Burgos is already very experienced and remains the #14 ranked contender. He has been a member of the UFC since 2016 and has fought nine times. He earned 6 victories in the promotion against guys like Charles Rosa, Cub Swanson, and Makwan Amirkhan He also suffered 3 losses against division leaders Calvin Kattar, Edson Barboza, and Josh Emmett.

Billy is a really talented fighter. He came to the UFC from DWCS when he earned a 3rd round TKO victory against Kamuela Kirk. Since signing in the UFC, he fought 5 times and suffered a only once, against Gavin Tucker. However, he has never faced such a tough opponent before, which will be a massive test.

Shane will open this bout as a favorite, with the odds around 1.5. Billy has really fast hands and good striking, but I think that Burgos will defeat him easily if the fight goes on his feet. In addition to skills, Burgos has a massive reach advantage; his reach is 192 CM, 14 CM longer than Billy’s reach. Unlike striking, I think that Billy will have an advantage on the ground, but he still does not have good enough skills to win a submission victory against Shane.

 Since Billy is a very tough guy, I think that Burgos will earn a decision victory. I think it will be a really bloody fight and will be nominated as FOTN (fight of the night). Nothing is impossible in this business, but I think that Burgos is too heavy and strong for Billy, but Billy is too tough to be finished by Burgos.
