One of the most unique personalities in the sport, Tom Lawlor , has apparently decided to call it a career. Lawlor (11-8) left his gloves in the center of the cage at 2021 PFL 5 on Thursday, signaling retirement after a unanimous decision victory over Jordan Young. The win halted a three-fight losing skid and marked his first victory since 2015, when he defeated Gian Villante by second-round knockout at UFC on FOX 16. When Lawlor, 38, removed his gloves, his playoff hopes in the 2021 PFL season were still alive, depending on results throughout the remaining of the evening. His decision win earned three points in the PFL standings, which was good for the fourth and final playoff spot at the time
