This month I’ll be heading to Russia to be a guest fighter at a Fight promotion. I’ll be presenting an award at the ESPYS. I’ll be in Miami twice once for Young LA and a dirty boxing meeting. Only on the Internet can a man with 88 followers call a pro athlete, irrelevant and actually mean it. 😌
Today, I’m officially announcing my retirement from the UFC. This decision comes after a lot of reflection, and I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the journey I’ve experienced over the years.
From the first time I stepped into the Octagon, my goal was to push the boundaries of what was possible in this sport. Becoming the youngest UFC champion in history, defending my title against some of the best fighters in the world, and sharing unforgettable moments with fans across the globe—these are memories I’ll cherish forever. I’ve faced incredible highs and some tough lows, but every challenge has taught me something valuable and made me stronger, both as a fighter and as a person.
I want to thank the UFC, Dana, Hunter, Lorenzo, God, my family, coaches, teammates, and all the fans who have stood by me through every chapter. Your unwavering support and belief in me have been my foundation. To my fellow fighters, thank you for bringing out the best in me and for the respect we’ve shared inside and outside the cage.
As I close this chapter of my life, I look forward to new opportunities and challenges ahead. MMA will always be a part of who I am, and I’m excited to see how I can continue to contribute to the sport and inspire others in new ways. Thank you all for being part of this incredible journey with me. The best is yet to come.
Addiction? Mine was comfort.
Comfort kept me broke.
Comfort made me weak.
Comfort whispered, "You have time."
But time was slipping, and I was losing.
The secret? I killed the old me.
Woke up earlier than my excuses.
Hit the gym when I didn't feel like it.
Worked when my mind begged for rest.
Stopped chasing pleasure, started chasing purpose.
Cut off distractions like they were enemies.
Quitting an addiction isn’t about willpower. it’s about becoming someone who no longer tolerates that weakness.
Once you kill the old version of yourself, you’ll never go back.
