Justin Levens retired after losing last night on UFN 5. He went 0-2 in UFC and probably retired because it'd take a ton of work to get back in there, and even more to be successful by the time he got there. He joins Frank Trigg and Randy Couture of UFC guys who retired this year (unless I'm forgetting othes)

he shouldn't let a small losing streak stop him from fighting he won his 1st 7 fights in the 1st round.He's been on a bit of a losing streak ,but i think he could bounce back.I wouldn't even really count the Tanner fight as a loss for him ,but rather a learning experience.There's no shame in losing to Tanner.BTW how old is Justin?

Wow, that's too bad. He is one of my favorite WEC fighters. He had a great start to his career, showing alot of potential. I guess 3 losses in a row took it's toll, unless there is some other reason. I hope he changes mind sometime in the future and gives fighting another chance.

Yeah plus the Tanner fight was on short notice.

I have no idea how old he is, Sherdog fightfinder and FCFighter don't have it listed.

exactly man, nothing wrong with losing to Tanner or Santiago for that matter who happens to train with ATT. I just think he is very down after losing 3 in a row after having such a good start to his career. I'm not sure how old Levens is, I'd guess about 28 or so.

[Matt Boone]

He's 26 according to his UFC.com profile.

That's right he took that fight on short notice because Horn couldn't fight. I forgot about that.

yeah i tryed to find it on sherdog and i looked briefly on google ,but couldn't find it.He's still pretty young to retire though.If he's not fighting I wonder what he's going to do to make a living.

[Matt Boone]

Yeah ,but even if he didn't take that fight on short notice I think he would've lost ,but there's noi shame in losing to guy like Tanner.26 huh? that's pretty young to retire.Randy Couture didn't quit after a series of losses at HW.Instead He dropped down to 205 and became LHW champ.
