Believe it or not folks, but even MMA organizations do their “Black Friday” shopping. Thursday night found upstart MMA organization Shine Fights being a busy shopper as they have signed The Ultimate Fighter 3 veteran Jesse Forbes to a three-fight deal; he is expected to make his Shine debut early in 2010.

Forbes joins fellow combatants Murilo Rua and Alexander Shlemenko as high-profile signings by Shine; the organization has also signed former pro boxing champion Ricardo Mayorgo. Forbes has won seven of his past eight fights, including 4 straight, with his lone loss coming at the hands of Ryan Jimmo.
