Shane Burgos dropped Godofredo Pepey at the beginning and the end, but couldn’t shut him all the way down. The result was a clear unanimous decision win for Burgos (10-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC), who brought the crowd to its feet in a toe-to-toe battle with the wild but resilient Pepey (13-5 MMA, 5-5 UFC). The featherweight bout was part of the preliminary card of today’s UFC on FOX 25 event at NYCB LIVE at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, N.Y. It streamed on UFC Fight Pass ahead of the rest of the card on FOX.

That didn’t seem to surprise Burgos, who stayed calm and fired back with pinpoint counters, dropping Pepey with a well-timed knee to the head in the first round and nearly finishing him with strikes moments later
