So he retired to " I’m going to go home, have fun, enjoy my family, enjoy my dad, enjoy my sister, my brother, my niece, my mom and go see my family in Miami. I just want to enjoy life for a little bit.”"

He had a successful business before he ever got into fighting and only fights for fun.

Can't say I'll miss him, considering I didn't know who he was before this fight.
