Billy Quarantillo recently took to social media to look back on his UFC 268 thriller against Shane Burgos.

The duo engaged in a back-and-forth war during the pay-per-view main card. After three memorable rounds, Burgos was awarded the win via unanimous decision. However, both fighters managed to significantly hurt the other over the course of 15 minutes.

Quarantillo recently shared a clip of the contest on Twitter, writing that 'Hurricane' dealt the most damage to him that he'd ever taken in a fight.

"Most damage i took right here... Had a blast in there while it was happening, almost had him"

Despite the loss, Quarantillo managed to put on a show for the fans. He had a worthy dance partner in Burgos, who was not hesitant to stand and engage with his opponent.

Famous boxing trainer Teddy Atlas even compared the fight to the legendary clash between Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali. Here's what Atlas said:

"Listen, great fight! ... I mean Quarantillo, he was like Joe Frazier. You know really coming forward, being determined to win this fight. But he had one problem: Burgos was like Ali. That was the only problem and Burgos won a decision. But not before they gave us really a great fight."
