Background

edit

Shore started kickboxing at six years old, at the behest of his father. After doing that for four years, his father opened an MMA gym in 2007 and Shore has been training as a MMA fighter ever since.[5]

Mixed martial arts career

edit

Early career

edit

Shore had an undefeated amateur tenure (12-0) concluded with a gold medal and four impressive triumphs in the men's lightweight division of the inaugural 2015 IMMAF European Open.[6]

Cage Warriors

edit

Shore made his debut as a featherweight against Tyler Thomas at Pain Pit Fight Night 15: Renegade on 5 March 2016, and won by a first-round submission. Three months later, he was scheduled to make his Cage Warriors debut against David Tonatiuh Crol at CWFC 76 on 4 June 2016. Shore made use of his superior grappling to take Crol down and submit him with a first-round rear-naked choke.[7] Shore was next scheduled to face Eddie Pobivanez at CWFC 79 on 15 October 2016. Shore won the fight by a second-round technical knockout.[8]

For his third fight with the promotion, Shore moved away from the Cage Warriors flagship events. He was scheduled to fight the undefeated Alexandros Gerolimatos at Cage Warriors FC: Academy Wales on 4 March 2017. Shore needed a little over two minutes to submit Gerolimatos with a rear-naked choke.[9]

Shore made his fourth appearance with Cage Warriors at CWFC 83 on 6 May 2017, against Konmon Deh. Shore won the fight by a first-round armbar submission.[10] Shore then faced Mattia Galbiati at CWFC 87 on 14 October 2017. He won the fight by a third-round knockout.[11] Shore was scheduled to face Ayton De Paepe at CWFC 89 on 25 November 2017. It was Shore's last appearance as a featherweight with Cage Warriors.[12] Shore won the fight by a first-round submission.[13]

Shore moved down in weight to bantamweight for his seventh appearance with Cage Warriors. He was scheduled to fight Vaughan Lee at CWFC 92: Super Saturday on 24 March 2018. Shore won the fight by unanimous decision.[14] Shore extended his winning streak to nine fights with a first-round technical knockout of Weslley Maia at CWFC 97 on 29 September 2018.[15]

Cage Warriors Bantamweight champion

edit

His nine-fight winning streak earned Shore the chance to challenge the reigning bantamweight champion Mike Ekundayo at CWFC 100 on 8 December 2018.[16] Shore dominated his fellow undefeated prospect through takedowns and ground-and-pound, en route to a third-round technical knockout victory.[4]

Shore was scheduled to make his first title defense against Scott Malone at CWFC 104 on 27 April 2019.[17] Shore won the fight by a third-round rear-naked choke submission.[18]

On 29 May 2019, it was announced that Shore had signed with the UFC.[19]

Shore made his promotional debut against Nohelin Hernandez at UFC Fight Night: Hermansson vs. Cannonier on 28 September 2019. He won the fight via third-round submission. The win earned him a Performance of the Night bonus.[20]

Shore was scheduled to face Umar Nurmagomedov on 19 March 2022, at UFC Fight Night 204.[33] However, Nurmagomedov was removed from the bout for unknown reason and he was replaced by Timur Valiev.[34] Shore won the fight via unanimous decision.[35]
