Den svenske lättviktaren Reza ”Maddog” Madadi gick under lördagen sin sjätte UFC-match på UFC Fight Night Lodnon, där han mötte irländaren Joseph Duffy. Madadi förlorade matchen via domslut efter tre tuffa ronder, och nu meddelar Allstars-fightern att han vill avsluta sin karriär med en sista match i Globen under UFC Fight Night Stockholm.
Så här skriver Madadi på sitt Instagramkonto:
What an experience, so many feelings it is hard to put in writing. Firstly I want to thank my opponent Joe Duffy @duffymma , not only an amazing fighter but also a real sportsman and gentleman. Our sport needs more fighters like him. I would also like to thank my team at @allstars_gym and No 18 gym, all my trainingpartners, my sponsors my corner coaches @selmanberisha , @davidbielkheden, Andreas Michael, @boris.kuzmic @masseewald and of course my amazing family. They are all part of the team and the reason I can compete in the best league in the world called @ufc. As all of you know we are not getting younger for every day that goes by . I have been in this sport for more than 10 years and have been lucky to compete against the best fighters in the world. Every good story has an end and I have a wish ; that is to fight my last fight and 20th MMA fight at @ufc Sweden, in my hometown Stockholm and in front of my home crowd. May 28th, beautiful weather in Sweden, sold out arena, who is up for a battle?
Madadi som innan MMA-karriären hade en lyckad brottningskarriär i Sverige, gick sin första MMA-match i september 2006. I april 2012 gjorde Madadi sin UFC-debut där han besegrade kubanen Yoislandy Izquierdo via submission i den första ronden.
