“Decided to hang em up for realz this time,” he wrote on Instagram.
“This game has been good to me and helped me develop and become a better person. It’s going to be strange not having a fight coming up(unless Fauci decides to man up), but I’ll be guiding the next generation over at @algeomma.
“I’ve met plenty of cool ppl along the way chasing their dreams and shared the cage with some rivals, friends and heroes of mine.
“Thank you to the @ufc and the @ufc staff for taking care of me and for having the balls to bring sports back safely in the pandemic. My gym was labeled non-essential for 3-4 months and the UFC helped provide income during that weird time. #forevergrateful
“Thankyou to my ppls who have been with me since the beginning and buying tickets to random casinos to help me live my dream. Thank you to @santtiiii for helping me through the ups and downs of this game cause there’s been plenty. Love yall.”
