Shine fights has announced that it has signed Season Eight “Ultimate Fighter” winner Efrain Escudero to a multi-fight contract. Not details regarding the terms of the deal or when Escudero will make his promotional debut were released.
“I'm very excited to have Efrain sign on with us,” Shine Fights COO Jason Chambers was quoted saying in a press release from the promotion. “I have tremendous confidence in his abilities, and look forward to seeing him make waves in our growing lightweight division."
The former All American collegiate wrestler and 13-2 pro fighter is coming off a third round, submission loss to Charles Oliveira in September, leaving Escudero’s official UFC record at 3-2. The lightweight was released from the promotion shortly after. During his time in the UFC Escudero defeated Dan Lauzon, Cole Miller and Phillipe Nover.
“Going to Shine is the first step to becoming a world champion,” said Escudero. “As far as my career goes, things happen, and I don’t live in the past. I’m excited to get this show in the road…Shine, here I come!”
