Brad Pickett wanted to leave everything in the Octagon in his last fight. So he’s (somewhat) satisfied.
From his first fight to his last, Pickett has always been known as a fighter who will show up to give the fans what they want: a fun scrap. He racked up five performance bonuses in the UFC and never liked to “play it safe.”
That might have cost him in his retirement fight on the UFC Fight Night 107 main card against Marlon Vera at The O2 Arena in his hometown of London, England, as he was having success with takedowns in the first two rounds but chose to stand with his opponent in the final frame.
