“Not doing it again. I’m out. That’s the announcement,” Brown wrote on Instagram. “My life will now be dedicated to serving others. Growing others in the martial arts and building businesses that can help the community and the world. Thanks to Dana White and UFC for giving me a platform to express myself and my brand but it is time to move on to bigger, better things!”
He retires with a 24-19 overall pro MMA record, including a 17-13 record in the UFC.
