Gavin Tucker confirma su retiro de la UFC en medio de problemas de lesiones

Gavin Tucker, el primer peleador de la UFC de Terranova y Labrador, se ha retirado oficialmente tras nueve años plagados de lesiones. El hombre de 39 años se retiró de un combate propuesto contra Doo Ho Choi horas después de su anuncio, como se informó por primera vez a principios de esta semana.

Tras los informes iniciales de que no firmó el acuerdo del combate para UFC Fight Night 273 el 18 de abril en Winnipeg, Tucker ha confirmado su retiro a MMA Junkie a través de su mánager Lucas Lutkus de All In Sports Management. La decisión se debe a un patrón persistente de lesiones que limitaron su actividad, con su última pelea —una derrota ante Diego Lopes en agosto de 2023— que marcó su primera desde marzo de 2021. Tucker, quien se unió a la UFC en 2017, termina su carrera con un récord profesional de MMA de 13-3. A pesar de los contratiempos, deja un legado como competidor resiliente de su provincia natal. De ahora en adelante, servirá como entrenador principal del Tower 1 Combat Sports Team en New Dartmouth, Nueva Escocia, manteniéndose conectado al deporte fuera de la jaula.
