Some of you have forgotten about the Fire Kid.

[FireKidWS]

Tom Fire Kid Duquesnoy.

He amassed a 16-2-1 record in MMA, with a 2-1 UFC record, beating Patrick Williams (which I saw live in Kansas City) and Terrion Ware, and losing a controversial decision to the talented (and lucky with the judges) Cody Stamaan.

He had undoubtable star power, and was quickly rising in the hearts of UFC diehards around the world when Tom walked away from MMA.

Duquesnoy realized over one and a half years ago that there is more to life than UFC. He appreciated his years as a martial artist, and took the lessons he learned as a fighter to propel him into the next stage in life.

Best of luck to the bantamweight GOAT in his life journeys.

Great striker with huge potential, would've loved to see how his career progressed if he stuck with it.

 

[Mr.Maelstrom]

I was expecting a Miguel Torres thread but yeah, Fire Kid was pretty cool

 

[Karelinator]

Bantamweight goat in potentia, maybe.

It must suck to name your profile after a prospect that retires shortly after.

As selfish as I am I still really appreciate it when talented guys walk away from the UFC. Fuck that company.

He was great to watch, did he ever explain his reason for retiring ? Might already know but have forgotten if so.

Ive read he turned to meditation during one of his injuries, and shortly after his win with Ware decided to embark on a spiritual journey.

He has since said he is very happy in life.

Happy for him.

He's no fire ball kid

GTFO Noob there is only one Fire kid and that's the The Fireball kid

 

[OneManGang]

He is forgotten because he lost. Only Khabib and Jon Jones will be remembered.

 

[FireKidWS]

Viva la France.

 

[TheJohnnyWalkerEra]

The only time he fought a guy anyone has heard of, he got rekt

His two wins in the UFC were against complete cans with garbage records
