Former UFC fighter Rory MacDonald announced his retirement from MMA on Sunday at the age of 33.
MacDonald made it official in an Instagram post, writing: "My time has come to put the gloves down for good. I'm so thankful for this sport and every person I've been able to meet along the way."
On Saturday, MacDonald suffered a surprising loss to Dilano Taylor in the semifinals of the PFL welterweight playoffs. Following the first-round technical knockout defeat, MacDonald removed his gloves, which is normally a sign that a fighter is planning to retire, per ESPN's Brett Okamoto.
