Irish lightweight Joseph Duffy, who famously handed Conor McGregor a submission loss, has called it a career after a quick tapout at UFC Fight Island 2.
“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,” Duffy wrote on Instagram. “I think it’s time to realize that I haven’t got what it takes any more.”
Duffy dove for a takedown against Joel Alvarez in the opening frame and was quickly caught in a guillotine choke, submitting at the 2:25 mark for his third consecutive loss.
