Zhalgas Zhumagulov retires after controversial UFC Vegas 65 loss

Frustrated with being on the wrong end of controversial decisions, UFC flyweight Zhalgas Zhumagulov has decided to end his career.

Zhumagulov lost a split decision to Charles Johnson at UFC Vegas 65 this past Saturday. And shortly after he left the Octagon, ‘Zhako’ announced his retirement.

“Everyone saw the fight, what can I say? There is nothing to say,” said Zhumagulov (translation via Sherdog Forums) “This was my last fight. Thanks to everyone who cheered for me. I don’t want to fight anymore. For some time I fight - the judges do not give me back.
