Good for him. He could've stuck around and been a guy but never be in title contention. Hopefully he has success in his next chapter in life as well.

 

[Versez]

I just saw it on the mma media’s news. I’m shocked

 

[DrRodentia]

Damn, young and has only lost to decent competition. But if you don't want to keep fighting you probably shouldn't.

 

[Domitian]

If your heart isn't into something it's best to stop doing it. Especially when that thing is fighting. He had a decent career. 17-3 overall and 6-3 in the UFC, plus Cage Warriors champion with a defense. Best of luck to him.

Well good on him for recognizing his heart isn’t in it anymore. This is too dangerous of a sport with too serious of consequences to be half in on. Best of luck to him.

You could kind of tell that his heart wasn't in it any more once he moved up to FW despite clearly being a BW physically

 

[tritestill]

It's the smart move

 

[Ares Black]

It's good to see fighters walking away on their own terms. We'll see if he misses it in a couple of years, but I wish him nothing but the best.

 

[Kenny Powerth]

I honestly thought he would be a future contender but I'm glad he knows when to hang it up and hopefully won't battle CTE his whole life

Jack Shore in two months when he gets that itch...

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Wellsh done.

Hopefully he make some money and do not come back in 6 years or something.

 

[WildShrimper]

best of luck to Jack Shore

why did he move up?

 

[ExitLUPin]

Shore is an extremely skilled and well rounded fighter but all his 3 losses to Simon, Brito, Zalal no shame losing to them showed a glaring athleticism deficit. He just physically can't compete with a certain level of fighter. He could have stuck around and picked up a lot of wins but he's being honest with himself that he wasn't ever gonna seriously contend or become champ.

 

[fortheo]

why did he move up?

I assume he hated cutting weight, but really, he had no business being at FW.
