Saturday night was my last fight in the UFC.
16 years. 29 fights, including my time in the Ultimate Fighter house. One hell of a journey.
I didn’t get my hand raised, but I’m incredibly proud of my performance, proud of my opponent, and genuinely happy for him.
For the first time, I was able to slow down and truly experience it all—the weeks leading up to the fight, fight week, the walk to the Octagon, and everyone who’s been beside me through the highs and lows. Including the 13 coaches and training partners we’ve lost. RIP.
I gave this sport everything I had. Sometimes my best was great. Sometimes it was just okay. Saturday night, I was okay—and okay is good enough for me.
I’m grateful for the wins, the losses, the lessons, the people, and every damn moment in between.
What a journey. Thank you. ❤️

Gz on maxing your account @IAmAlanWalker at Ultra Live! 🎉
Losing three in a row hurts. There’s no way around that.
It was never a matter of preparation or mindset. I’ve put in the work. I’ve sacrificed. But the gap between being a champion and feeling like an ultimate failure can be so small—and I still haven’t found that breakthrough I’m chasing.
This sport is a game of inches and milliseconds. Technique, tactics, timing, a little bit of luck, and a whole lot of faith.
In a lot of sports, a loss doesn’t carry the same weight. You may get another chance that week or the following weekend to make it right. In fighting, we’re fortunate to compete maybe two or three times a year. There are no seasons. No guarantees. We work day in and day out, sacrifice our bodies, and put everything on the line for 15 minutes to make something happen.
So yeah, losing hurts.
Not just because of the L on the record, but because of everything that comes with it—finances, opportunities, confidence, self-worth, and all the thoughts that try to creep in afterward.
But I’m grateful that fighting is not my identity.
My identity is in my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. My life is not my own. I’ll continue to be a living sacrifice and do my best to honor Him in whatever I do—whether I’m winning or losing.
Life is a vapor in the grand scheme of time. Cherish your people. Hug the ones you love whenever you get the chance. Give compliments. Lift others up. Give your best effort in whatever you do.
Those simple principles are what keep me grounded.
But damn… I want to win.

🫡 Really enjoyed this conversation between Dominick Cruz and Erick Nicksik.
Erick talks about the importance of keeping a balance between his athletes’ MMA careers and their family lives. After a fight is over, he tells his athletes to go on vacation with their families:
“Hey man, take a deload. Go take your wife out for dinner. Go invest back into the family.”
The fight’s over.
The first thing I’m telling these guys, hand to God, “Hey, you better book a trip to Cabo.”
Because you know why? Because your wife just went through camp.”

😔❌ Dominick Cruz says many coaches make a mistake of teaching their athletes to shut out their personal love lives:
"Growing up as a kid, my coaches always told me, “Just dodge it. It’s just too hard.”
And as I got older, I kind of look back at my mentors and go, “Man, were they doing that for themselves or for me?”
You know? Because it’s easier for them to coach me if they don’t have to deal with that.
But realistically, what I learned is these mentors sometimes just didn’t have the skills on their own. And so they taught a young adult to shut certain things out.
And it’s—I don’t regret anything, but I notice the difference."
