Jorge Masvidal announced his UFC retirement after he was beaten by Gilbert Burns in his fourth successive defeat.
Masvidal, 38, hinted that he would retire from fighting if he lost to Burns before their fight and he lived up to his promise after losing a one-sided decision to the Brazilian on Saturday night. 'Gamebred' was looking to pick up his first win in over two years in front of a hometown Miami crowd, but Burns was too much for him on the night.
In his post-fight interview, Masvidal took off his gloves and admitted that he doesn't have the same love for fighting that he had at the start of his career."I love everybody here, thank you everybody for watching. This is where I started my career, it's been a long 20 years. Fifty something fights, sometimes your favourite basketball player doesn't have that three-pointer or your favourite quarterback loses that rifle.
