Kazakhstani UFC flyweight fighter Zhalgas Zhumagulov announced the end of his career after his loss to Charles Johnson at UFC Vegas 65.
That was my last fight. Thanks to everyone who was rooting for me. I don't want to fight anymore. I'm fighting and fighting and the judges just won't let me have the victory. I'm tired, I'm really exhausted from all the work... I'm not just being emotional right now, I'm saying it like it is.
