Kazakhstani Zhalgas Zhumagulov announced his retirement after losing to American Charles Johnson at UFC Vegas 65. The fight lasted all three rounds and ended with Johnson’s victory by a split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28).
“Greetings everyone! Everyone saw the fight, what can I say? There is nothing to say. This was my last fight. Thanks to everyone who cheered for me. I don’t want to fight anymore. I’ve been fighting for some time, but the judges won’t give me back. I’m tired. I plow and plow, I invest. Now I’m not speaking on emotions, I’m telling it like it is. Thanks to everyone who cheered for me. I hug you like a brother,” Zhumagulov said.
He just had a couple of split decisions before and all we ruled losses for him. Even statistically this is improbable. No way he really lost all of these fights.
I’ve seen his fights but don’t remember them. I’m sure they were all close but since he doesn’t seem to have the skill to finish and his fights aren’t super memorable, I’m not gonna cry if he retires, good luck to him.
