Bare Knuckle FC bantamweight champion and former UFC fighter Johnny Bedford announced the end of his professional career.
I had to make a difficult decision as I realize I can no longer compete at the top level. I'm unhappy, because I don't even wake up for a run at six in the morning. The sport doesn't give me the thrill anymore.
