UFC fighter Joe Duffy, one of the few men to beat Conor McGregor in MMA, has retired immediately after a poor loss on Fight Island.
Duffy lost via guillotine choke in the first round against Joel Alvarez on Sunday (AEST), during a UFC card in Abu Dhabi. He tapped out after two minutes and 25 seconds, shaking his head after getting off the Octagon floor.
It was Duffy's third consecutive defeat, following losses to James Vick and Marc Diakiese, and the 32-year-old lightweight is now hanging up the gloves. 'Irish Joe' admitted that he had "fallen to pieces" in his final fight.
"I'm sorry I didn't achieve what I set out to achieve for my fans, family, friends and myself but it just wasn't meant to be. I am officially retiring from MMA competition," the irishman said in an Instagram post

He was responsible for one of McGregor's four MMA defeats, when he submitted the megastar in a Cage Warriors match (arm-triangle choke) back in 2010.
