Paul Felder has contemplated ending his retirement and returning to the Octagon once before, but thus far the ‘Irish Dragon’ has remained firm in his decision to stay away from professional competition. However, there are two scenarios that would make him reconsider.
Felder announced his retirement during the broadcast of UFC Vegas 27 this past May and explained that he no longer had the “burning desire” to continue fighting at the top of his division. That desire has come and gone in recent months for the former ranked lightweight contender, but Felder told George Garcia on MMA Junkie Radio that the only way he would return is for either a money fight or an appearance in front of his hometown alongside his fellow Philadelphia natives.
