Sean O’Connell Releases Official Retirement Statement After $1 Million PFL Final Victory

Sean O’Connell said he was going to call it a career following the Professional Fighters League championship on New Year’s Eve, and it looks like he’s going to follow through with those plans.

“The Real OC” recently released a statement confirming his retirement on Twitter. O’Connell previously revealed his intentions in the cage following his third-round technical knockout win over Vinny Magalhaes in the PFL final on Monday to claim the promotion’s light heavyweight championship and $1 million payout.

“I am home again in Salt Lake City and feeling happy and grateful,” O’Connell wrote.
