UFC lightweight Kurt Pellegrino raised the stakes prior to his most recent fight when he said he’d retire with a loss to George Sotiropoulos this past Saturday at UFC 116.
But after re-injuring his left knee in the first round of the fight and dropping a unanimous decision, Pellegrino is adamant that he won’t hang it up.
“I’m so sorry I lost the fight – to all my fans – but I don’t want to go out that way,” Pellegrino today told MMAjunkie.com.
