UFC fighter Frankie Edgar said he is going to retire from the sport after two knockout losses. In doing so, the 40-year-old former lightweight division champion admitted he's not thinking about his next fight for the first time in a long time.

"Everyone is talking about ending his career, however I'm not going to answer that as I don't know what it is. I want to make sure that if I end my career, I will never return to the octagon again. I'm not ready to make that decision yet.

"However, this is probably the first time after a fight that I don't think about the next fight. I'm not thinking about going back to the gym. I know I will never stop training, even if I end my career, because I am addicted to it. But I'm not thinking about going back to training, and that seems to have happened to me for the first time in my career," Edgar told MMA Fighting.

Edgar lost by knockout to Marlon Vera on Nov. 6 at UFC 268.
