While speaking to MMA Junkie in a recent interview, ‘The Irish Dragon’ stated that he isn’t retired and is rather benching myself for the time being, until he receives an offer for the right fight.
Paul Felder noted that his clash against Dan Hooker in New Zealand, which remains as his last fight in the Octagon, was a tough one and he just needed a little break from all of it.
‘The Irish Dragon’ added that his loss to ‘The Hangman’ was a close fight and he needed some time to recover from that loss, and needed to be home for a while after his last Octagon outing.
Paul Felder further said that as soon as the right matchup is offered to him, he will get back into action but is in no rush at all. The Lightweight sensation has been busy buying a house and is spending some time with his family amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
What’s next for Paul Felder?
Paul Felder is also working as a commentator for the UFC and we’ve seen him on the commentary desk over the past few months or so. It also remains to be seen if Felder will be traveling to Abu Dhabi or not, in order to provide commentary at the UFC Fight Island.
