Once a top prospect at 135 pounds, Tom Duquesnoy is walking away from mixed martial arts.
Duquesnoy, 25, announced his retirement from the sport Sunday in an Instagram post.
“Today I decide to go on a different path that attracts me a lot more and that takes me a big part of my energy,” Duquesnoy wrote. “My new activities are such that I can not be fully devoted to high level training. I respect that sport too well to engage in half-hearted and that is why I am at a crossroads where it is essential for me to focus on what passionates me the most.
