41-year-old UFC pioneer Pedro Rizzo has decided to hang it up after 19 years in the sport.
Pedro Rizzo started his career in 1996, and was one of the star pupils of UFC 7 tournament champ Marco Ruas. This past weekend, the 41-year-old UFC pioneer won by leg kick TKO and decided to officially hang up his gloves after 19 years in the sport.
"I was scared. Not about the fight, but about this moment. I wanted to show my students how it is," Rizzo announced as quoted by MMA Fighting.
