“Dana, thank you for everything, Sean Shelby, the Fertita brothers, everyone at UFC, I just have to thank everyone… My week was very difficult, not only because of my weight problem, but… I was fighting with my mind to try to be champion again, but I think it’s time to stop, I have to enjoy my family, my children, I don’t want to do this anymore… I spoke to Dedé (Pederneiras), I was cutting weight at the time, something hit me in the heart, told me that I didn’t need to make weight, and I quit right away. If there was a fight, there would be one, if not, I didn’t want to fight anymore. So I think this is the last time you’ll see me here. This is no longer part of my life now,” he said.
