Julian Erosa was happy to retire on a UFC snoozer until he got hit

Featherweight veteran Julian Erosa concluded his mixed martial arts career with a decisive first-round knockout victory over Jeong Yeong Lee at UFC Vegas 123. The 37-year-old fighter, who entered the bout as the underdog, secured the win in just 91 seconds, a result he described as a fairytale ending to his time in the Octagon.

Following the performance, Erosa was awarded a $100,000 performance bonus, one of four such payouts distributed at the event held on October 31, 2026. He stated that his decision to step away from the sport is driven by a desire to prioritize his family.
