Following a 26-second knockout loss to Brandon Vera in the main event of ONE Championship: Spirit of Champions, Cheng reflected on things and has made a decision.
“Typhoon” made the official announcement on his Facebook page on Friday morning.
“I’m ok everyone! Thanks for all the love. Back to the show biz for me,” Cheng said. “Thanks to Victor Cui for the bonus money and Fighting Brandon Vera for a world title. 2 weeks of hard training and 72 hours notice definitely doesn’t cut it. Going to hang out for a few days. Officially retiring from MMA.
