UFC lightweight and welterweight mainstay Paul Felder is calling it a career.
The 37-year-old announced his retirement from mixed martial arts during the broadcast of UFC Fight Night on Saturday. He's been out of the Octagon since two back-to-back losses to Dan Hooker and Rafael dos Anjos in 2020.
"I don't have a burning desire to fight up for many more years and become a champion," Felder said (h/t ESPN's Brett Okamoto). "I always said if I don't see that title picture a year or so into my future, I would retire and I would do it for my friends, family and myself.
