UFC welterweight James Krause is officially done as an active competitor.<\/p>\n

The 36-year-old has been out of the cage since a win over Claudio Silva in October 2020. The win was his seventh, in his last eight contests. The sole defeat was a controversial decision loss to Trevin Giles at UFC 247, where Krause stepped up on one-day notice.<\/p>\n

Over the latter half of his career, the Kansas City native has become more of a coach than a fighter. As the leader of Glory: MMA and Fitness in Missouri, he’s led names such as Brandon Moreno<\/a> and Megan Anderson to UFC title fights.<\/p>\n

Now, on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani, James Krause has announced his retirement. The UFC welterweight noted that his enjoyment of coaching was his reason to retire. That, combined with a back injury made him hang up the gloves.<\/p>\n

James Krause referenced being in the corner of Brandon Moreno’s title-winning performance at UFC 277 as a motivator as well. The flyweight captured interim gold with a win over Kai Kara-France last Saturday.<\/p>\n

Brandon Moreno at UFC 263<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cThis last week for me, I had a herniated disk \u2014 I have a herniated disk in my neck \u2014 and it was giving me real problems going into that [UFC 277] fight week. And I was very close to just officially saying it. It\u2019s hard for me to [say]. This is the problem with most fighters is, it\u2019s hard to let that go. It\u2019s really hard to let that go. But I could tell you with almost 100 percent confidence that you guys will probably never see me fight again. And I\u2019m good with that. I feel OK with that.” (h\/t MMAFighting<\/em><\/a>)<\/p>\n

James Krause continued, \u201c…I am done with this sport. I\u2019m at peace with it. I have no desire to fight again. I really don\u2019t. My desires and my fulfillment have now shifted toward coaching. Moments like Brandon Moreno and the rest of my team, I get fulfillment out of those. So you can call this my official retirement or whatever, but I do not plan on ever fighting in the UFC ever again.\u201d<\/p>\n
