The story
Julian Erosa finished his final career fight at UFC Halloween on October 31, 2026, by knocking out Jeong Yeong Lee in 91 seconds at the Meta Apex in Las Vegas. Erosa, 36, concluded his third and final run with the promotion holding a 9-5 record.
Having been released from the UFC twice during his career, Erosa provided insight for fighters facing similar departures. He emphasized the importance of patience and reminded athletes to reflect on their love for the sport before deciding their next steps.
Erosa acknowledged that his own impatience to compete previously led to choices that were not in his best interest. Moving forward, he intends to focus on his life outside of professional fighting, specifically spending time with his young son.
