Adlan Amagov officially announces retirement from MMA competition

UFC welterweight Adlan Amagov has officially announced his retirement from professional sports, including mixed martial arts competition.

For months, the reasons for Adlan Amagov's extended absence from the sport were rumored, yet the Chechen welterweight has decided to officially announce his retirement from MMA competition rather than silently step aside.

Amagov informed Prosport-online.ru (h/t VK) that he has retired from all forms of professional competition to focus on a new job outside of sports, as well as his growing family. He reiterated the same points during the ACB 16 broadcast, where he was a guest at the show.
