Chris discusses his upcoming bout against Louis Taylor in the PFL 1 main event on May 9, why he signed with PFL, why he likes the tournament format and any challenges it presents, why he's always wanted to fight twice in one night, what he would do with $1 million, whether he wants to ever fight for the UFC after getting snubbed on Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series last summer, and more. ---------------------------------------- 3rd - 42:09: ‘Shane Burgos was 'taken aback' when offered fight vs. 'legend' Cub Swanson at ESPN+ 8’ Burgos last fought Kurt Holobaugh at UFC 230: Cormier vs Lewis, back on November 3, 2019, resulting in a rapid win via armbar at 2:11 in R1, resulting in a 17-5-0 fight record.
