After 21 years of fighting, former UFC light heavyweight champion Mauricio Rua ended his career at UFC 283. Though it was not the farewell ‘Shogun’ wanted, losing via TKO to Ihor Potieria, the 41-year-old feels at ease with the decision after the many battles and injuries he endured during his career.
During the event’s post-fight press conference, Shogun told Ag Fight he is leaving the sport with the feeling of a job well done and thanked the fans for all of their support throughout the years. Now, all Mauricio wishes is for fans to remember his legacy in a positive way after retirement.
