Some fighters come here just to make money and some just to fight. But some fighters don't move much here. 2021 has seen a significant increase in the number of fighters announcing that they have done their job and now want to leave the game, and we have a list of those who chose to leave this past year. ۔ 1- Nick Lentz (January 24) Nick Lentz has competed in 21 UFC shows before retiring from the MMA, his last fight after losing in UFC 257 in January.
