Overwhelmed by Joanderson Brito
Shore lost to Joanderson Brito via TKO (doctor stoppage) at 3:35 of Round 2 at UFC 301 on Saturday in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
ANALYSIS
Making his second appearance at 145 pounds, Shore found out that facing Brito is not the same as facing Makwan Amirkhani, his opponent in his first featherweight bout. Brito is bigger, stronger and faster, and he also throws damaging leg kicks, which Shore was unable to defend or avoid. His leg was a bloody mess when all was said and done, and one particularly damaging blow at the end of Round 3 forced referee Joao Claudio Soares to call the doctor in. After a brief examination, that was all she wrote. A member of the UFC roster since September 2018, Shore has fought just eight times during that stretch, going 6-2. The record is fine, but Shore has zero history of defeating better competition, and now 29 years of age, is not getting any younger.

Next bout scheduled
Shore is set to match up against Joanderson Brito at UFC 301 on May 4, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Shore, who won his most recent fight against Makwan Amirkhani in March, will square off against Joanderson Brito who has been on a roll. The 29-year-old fighter, who is 6-1 during his time with the UFC, will look to knock off the streaky fighter.

Strong showing in 145-pound debut
Shore defeated Makwan Amirkhani via submission (rear-naked choke) at 4:27 of Round 2 at UFC 286 on Saturday in London.
ANALYSIS
It was Shore's return to featherweight after spending each of his first six UFC bouts competing at bantamweight. It didn't start well. He was forced to the mat by Amirkhani early on and spent near the entirety of the opening frame plastered to the ground. Yet, it was Amirkhani that was tired out from all the grappling, and Shore took full advantage. He pounded his opponent on the feet early in Round 2 before choking him out at the end of the stanza. Having just turned 28 years of age in early February, Shore still retains a very high ceiling and should be considerably more effective with the extra ten pounds on his frame.

Fighting at UFC 286
Shore (knee) will take on Makwan Amirkhani at UFC 286 in London on March 18, USA Today reports.

Suffers knee injury
Shore disclosed via his personal Facebook account that he will be forced to withdraw from his upcoming fight against Kyler Phillips due to "a serious knee injury."
ANALYSIS
Shore said in the post that he'll save the specifics for his next podcast, and he also noted that the injury is likely to keep him sidelined for the rest of the year. It's a tough break for the newly-ranked bantamweight, who is 5-1 to begin his UFC run.
