Joe Duffy is moving on from MMA after suffering his third consecutive loss at UFC on ESPN+ 30. Duffy (16-5 MMA, 4-4 UFC) suffered a first-round submission defeat to Joel Alvarez in their lightweight bout on Saturday’s card, which took place at Flash Forum at Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. The defeat marked the third consecutive setback for Duffy, who’s never experienced such a stretch of negative results. He took 16 months off coming into the fight, and it appears the outcome gave him the closure he needed to walk away. Duffy took to social media just minutes after his loss and announced his retirement (via Instagram ): Thank you all so much for all your messages of support all week
