This was from June, but couldn't find anything here.
"Following over a year of speculation, Adlan Amagov officially announced his retirement from MMA competition several months ago to the disappointment of countless fans of the sport. Some initially assumed that religious reasons were a factor in his decision, yet the 28-year-old Amagov confirmed that he was simply "tired."
"Here I cannot lie. In the last fight I was 16 kg (35lbs) overweight. It was hard. I usually weighed 92-93kg (205lbs). For 40 days before the last fight, I ate well and then stood on the scale out of interest - 95.5 kg (210lbs)! And my category was 77 kg (170lbs). It was just awful."
Asked if he would return to the Octagon to challenge Lawler, Amagov sidestepped a direct answer by stating that "everyone would agree" to such a hypothetical situation.
