UFC Welterweight Kyle Noke Announces Retirement Following 33-Bout Career

After a 33-fight professional career, Kyle Noke is hanging up his four-ounce gloves.

The Australian veteran announced his retirement via Twitter on Saturday night following a unanimous decision loss to Omari Akhmedov at UFC Fight Night 101 in Melbourne. It was Noke’s third straight defeat in the Octagon, the longest losing streak of his fighting tenure.

“Thank you to the UFC and all the fans. It’s time to hang up the gloves,” Noke wrote. “I’ve had a blessed life doing what I love. I wouldn’t change a thing.”

Thank you to the @ufc and all the fans.
