Gallery Song Yadong def. Felipe Arantes at UFC Singapore: Best photos view 9 images After 10 years and 31 professional MMA bouts, UFC bantamweight Felipe Arantes is retiring from fighting. Arantes (18-10-1 MMA, 5-6-1 UFC), who was knocked out by Song Yadong at this past Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 132, announced the decision on his social media on Tuesday. The loss marked a three-fight skid for the 30-year-old Brazilian, who’d been in the UFC since 2011. On a lengthy Instagram post, Arantes said he considered himself “100 percent” accomplished in his career and explained that the decision boiled down to his will to fight not being there anymore. “I’ve always made it clear that I don’t depend on fighting financially, because, through it, I’ve built things that allow me to have a good life,” Arantes said.
