Orlovsky has confirmed his departure from the UFC

Former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Orlovsky said the bout against Martin Budaj was his last in the biggest MMA promotion.

"Hey, everybody. I'm doing great, and I wish you all the same. In short, my journey of 24 years in the UFC has come to its logical conclusion, but this is only the end of the chapter in my book, in my MMA career, and so everything is still ahead of me! Now on vacation with my family and then I'll come back to you with news. Thank you all very much!", - wrote Orlovsky in Instagram.

Recall that last weekend at the UFC 303 tournament in Las Vegas, USA, Orlovsky lost to Budai by split decision of judges. This defeat was the fourth consecutive defeat for the 45-year-old Belarusian.
