In a recent interview, ex-Legacy and Bellator MMA champion Rafael Lovato Jr said he hadn’t retired from MMA and instead it said “Retired is not quite the word I like to use, instead I was sidelined and I’m hoping that’s indefinite, not definite. I definitely want to fight at least one more time. I’ve heard doctors say “You should definitely not fight” and then I’ve heard some say “No, it’s super low risk” I just know that I want to be back in the cage.”
This came after Lovato Jr had to walk away from his Bellator title after discovering a problem with his brain. As a result, he returned to the world of competitive BJJ in 2020. Whether he does return to MMA is still uncertain, but it is definitely in his plans.
