UFC veteran Brian Kelleher can't see himself working a 9 to 5 job, details what's next after 17 fights in the Octagon.
A familiar face from the bantamweight division, Kelleher fought 17 times in the UFC and was never one to take an easy fight, facing the likes of Umar Nurmagomedov, Mario Bautista, and former champ Cody Garbrandt on his way out of the premier promotion, which came with a loss to 'The Ultimate Fighter' finalist Cody Gibson in July.
"It's easy in this moment to kind of feel sad and upset about how things played out recently, but if I do reflect on my career in a more positive light, I'm blessed to have lived this dream and to have fought for the UFC, which was every fighter's dream growing up, trying to win fights and chase this dream and get to the pinnacle of the sport.
"At this point in my life, I don't really know anything else besides fighting. Being a regular person working like a 9 to 5 is like the scariest thing to me and kind of hard to just adjust to and be like, oh, I'm just going to get a job now and be normal and live that life. I just can't see myself doing it.""It's hard to figure out like what's next, to be honest with you," Kelleher said, after contemplating MMA coaching.
