LAS VEGAS – The theme going around at UFC Fight Night 238 on Saturday seemed to be “Family comes first.” Tyson Pedro announced a somewhat surprising retirement after a decision loss in the co-main event, and a few fights prior Jamie Pickett did the same thing. Pickett (13-11 MMA, 2-7 UFC) dropped a decision to Eryk Anders (16-8 MMA, 8-9 UFC) to close out the prelims at the UFC Apex. At 35, the North Carolina native said he wants to focus on spending time with his kids. “I’m retiring. I knew it coming (into the fight),” Pickett told MMA Junkie and other reporters backstage after UFC Fight Night 238.
