Former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Orlovsky talked about his future career plans.

The 45-year-old Belarusian had his last fight in the UFC this past weekend, losing by split decision to Slovakian Martin Budaj.

"I knew beforehand that this was my last fight in the UFC. They offered to settle something, but I didn't want to. My journey in the UFC is over, but not my MMA career. I heard rumors that I was considered old and stuff like that. I didn't want to be said goodbye with touching videos.

I want to break some more records. Bernard Hopkins was champion at 48. Uncle Dana helped me build a house, but the bills have to be paid. And I have a newborn baby, so I'll be fighting for at least a couple more years," Orlovsky said on The MMA Hour show.
