Yeah, sure. Shane Burgos put on a really awesome fight against Tiago Trator. He did some wild stuff, dove on the dude, forced him to stand up whenever he laid on the ground for what seemed like forever and even pulled off some super sick combos. However, all of this will forever be overshadowed by being the first person ever to get their hair cut in the middle of UFC fight.
Trator is wasting way too much time on these breaks. Good thing Burgos brought his barber with him though… #UFCAlbany

Shane Burgos decided he no longer wanted a man-bun so he just got it cut between rounds. #UFCAlbany

Why did no one do this to Clay Guida, Benson Henderson, or Conor McGregor when he had those cornrows because, well, that needs no explanation. Either way, Burgos did it first. He’s an innovator for our generation. He changed things for MMA barbers everywhere.
Well, this is a first! #UFCAlbany https://t.co/Fx3O76nU02
