"I just wanna say a huge thanks to the ufc for giving me the great opportunity to compete at the highest level in combat sports.. Iv had many great memories that will stay with me forever!! Im now looking to fight this summer so what ever comes up il be ready to go!! On any show anywhere..
Thank you to all my fans for following my journey.
I will be back ??????
This aint no April fools joke."
Disappointed by this, I always liked Norman Parke 
See ya
Was never exciting to watch. His last fight against rustam was decent though
That's a shame, Norman always came to fight. Good luck to him
Shame - I always thought a fight with Ross Pearson would've been interesting.
Weird, he's better than most lightweights they have. 
He'll be back.
Why?
He lost two splits, one to a juiced out gleison.
Then he won one and lost one to a top 10 lw
Some of his losses were very questionable. Surprised by this.
Another stupid decision by the ufc
Wow that's a bit of a surprise. As already mentioned he had a couple of very close decisions go against him, always came to fight and is Irish.
ufc seems to be unloading their more boring fighters. First rosholt now norman
Norman's a good fighter, but I suspect him going to decision 8 out of his 9 fights played a role in it.
A couple of wins on the local circuit, and I'm sure he'll get a call back when the UFC returns to Dublin or Belfast.
Weird, especially for their Irish market. Not like he's dropped a few in a row either.
I've never been a huge fan of his, but he deserves one more fight for sure
This isn't April fools?
Bull crap. I do not concur.
HandyDarsh - This isn't April fools?This.
Flexo - Weird, especially for their Irish market. Not like he's dropped a few in a row either.I'm from Northern Ireland, same as Mr Parke and I, and anyone I know, doesn't give a shit about Norman Parke because he's boring to watch and every time he opens his mouth it's cringeworthy. Everyone, who I know anyway, in the north is far more excited by Conor and the other southern Irish contingent and those from England and Scotland.
