Dana White said it was BS. Said that there's little to no chance of Shannon Briggs fighting in the UFC.
Until I see soild proof that he has or hasn't signed with the UFC, I'm taking everything with a grain of salt.Comment

Its called the love of the sport satan.
what this is based on.
the love, the feeling, testing one's self.Comment

And you gotta know that he'd get WAY more than 8 grand to fight. I'd bet that just about every fighter on the next UFC card will make more than that.Comment

Briggs wants to test himself.Originally posted by Mr.Satan
On ething i want toknow is why would he want to fight fo the UFC? What is he going to get paid? Like 8 grand at teh most if he wins? That is insane. I bet if he boxed he could get a hell of a lot more than that. i know he could. So why woudl he want to fight in something more dangerous where he has a greater chance fo losing for less money?
Thats the only reason a boxer of his level would want to enter MMA. He knows he can make more money in boxing, he just wants to fight real fightsComment

Have to wait & see I guess if it's true, but remember Dana said the same thing about Tank not getting signed right up to the last minute.... ya just never know.
But, it it's true, think of the boxing fans that will follow Briggs right into the octagon! WOW!

Zuffa just spoke with Maxfighting.com and Mr. White himself is denying all these rumors. His exact words were: "the chances of Shannon Briggs fighting in the UFC at this point are next to none"
and "we have never come close to a deal with Shannon"
