Jack Shore Retires from UFC

Jack Shore, a 29-year-old Welsh mixed martial artist, has announced his retirement from the UFC, citing mental fatigue and accumulated injuries as reasons for stepping away. Shore, who amassed a professional record of 17 wins and 3 losses, decided not to re-sign with the UFC after his contract ended following a submission loss to Youssef Zalal in November. Known as 'Tank', Shore was a former bantamweight champion in the Cage Warriors promotion and had a promising start with a 5-0 record in the UFC. Despite having the opportunity to continue his career, Shore chose to prioritize his health and well-being, expressing gratitude to his supporters and the UFC for his journey. He emphasized his commitment to leaving the sport on his own terms rather than being forced out due to declining performance or injuries. Shore thanked his family, coaches, and the UFC for their support throughout his career, expressing pride in his accomplishments and readiness for the next chapter of his life.
