ELMONT, N.Y. – After upsetting Jack Shore to hand him his first loss, Ricky Simon said having that distinction really doesn’t mean that much to him. Simon (20-3 MMA, 8-2 UFC) forced Shore (16-1 MMA, 5-1 UFC) to tap to a second-round arm-triangle choke in a key bantamweight bout at UFC on ABC 3 in Elmont, N.Y., on Saturday. Shore, a former Cage Warriors champion who had started his UFC tenure at 5-0, was close to a 2-1 betting favorite in the fight. But Simon arguably was his toughest opponent yet.
