Fabio Maldonado targets December retirement, negotiating with Bare Knuckle FC

This year might be the last time fans see light heavyweight brawler Fabio Maldonado compete in a ring or a cage.

After alternating the last years of his career in both professional boxing and mixed martial arts, the 39-year-old veteran recently revealed to Ag Fight that he is considering calling it quits by the end of 2020. But before that happens, the all-action brawler still wants to fight six more times.

In fact, asked where he might be fighting next, Maldonado revealed he could even close a deal with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, with whom the Brazilian has reportedly been negotiating lately.
