I wish all my old colleagues well going forward in competition. I now join my former partners on this venture, already in retirement. Proper Pina Coladas on me fellas!”
The 30-year-old contender, initially from Dublin, Ireland, is a two division UFC world champion and two division Cage Warriors World Champion. He’s positioned No. 2 lightweight hero and No. 9 pound for pound champion in the UFC, as indicated by Fox Sports.
