Joe Duffy is calling it a career after his lightweight loss to Joel Alvarez at UFC Fight Night: Figueiredo vs. Benavidez 2.
The 32-year-old Duffy (16-5, 4 KOs) suffered his third straight loss Saturday at Fight Island. He posted his official retirement announcement on Instagram shortly after Alvarez forced a submission via guillotine choke:
"Thank you all so much for all your messages of support all week. I have been blessed on this journey in MMA and am truly grateful for every experience. I felt great all through camp and even warming up, I believed I was back to my former self then when I went in there it just falls to pieces.
