UFC veteran Jack Shore called it a career on Wednesday. Despite being just 29, Shore explains why he's leaving and what he'll be doing instead of competing in the UFC.
At the age of 29, Shore fought the final fight on his UFC contract, a second-round submission loss to Youssef Zalal in November, and he’s decided to walk away from competition to focus on coaching.
Prior to his submission win over Makwan Amirkhani in March 2023, Shore was submitted in the second round by Ricky Simon in July 2022.Shore was able to rise to the cusp of reaching the UFC’s Top 15 but couldn’t get over the hump after an excellent run on the independent circuit that earned him a shot with the world’s top promotion.. “Hehm and Gary for all their knowledge, Paul Reed for everything he’s added the last few years.
“And of course my dad, who made a chubby 12-year-old believe in himself and convinced him to always chase his dreams, work hard and be proud of who I am,” Shore continued. “The world-class coaching he has given me for over 20 years has helped me reach things in this sport that people only dream of. But most importantly he always remained my dad first and has always been there for and loved his son as well as his fighter.
