Shane del Rosario was a WBC Muay Thai heavyweight world champion who went unbeaten through his first eleven professional MMA fights. He came into Strikeforce with a striking background and could finish on the ground too. Metal Mulisha supported him during that run as he worked toward the top of the heavyweight division.

A serious car accident interrupted his career in 2011. Shane worked back from the injuries and made his UFC debut against Stipe Miocic in 2012, then fought Pat Barry later that year.

Shane died in December 2013 at age 30.
