UFC Fight Night 210 – 145lbs: Shane Burgos Vs. Charles Rosa
No one saw this match up coming, but after Zubaira Tukhugov failed a drug test, Charles Rosa was left opponent – less, but not for long. Shane “Hurricane” Burgos stepped up to the challenge on short notice and will now be taking on the Brazilian in UFC fight night 210.
Shane Burgos (8-0) and Charles Rosa (11-2) are actually going to make for a very interesting fight. Burgos, who is 5 feet 11 inches is two inches taller than Rosa, but the height is not really going to be a big advantage considering how agile Rosa can be.
Rosa had a very challenging debut in the UFC and was put up against Dennis Silver in Stockholm, however, he managed not only come out alive, but actually won the fight. Since then he went on to win two more and lost one to Yair Rodriguez.
Both fighters are excellent finishers who know how to put a fight to bed. It is really going to be an exciting fight – one for the crowds. They are relentless and are not going to while away time on the back foot trying to defend for too long.
Prediction – Burgos is our winner here as he has the edge technically and while on both feet. But make no mistake! Rosa can very well surprise us all again like he did in his debut.
