Jake Hager has officially retired from MMA. He achieved an impressive 3-0-1 record with Bellator, concluding his last fight at Bellator 250 in October 2020 with a victorious split decision against Brandon Calton.
Hager has been closely linked with Chris Jericho ever since he joined AEW.
Speaking during a recent virtual signing with K & S WrestleFest, Hager confirmed his retirement from the sport. He said,
“Officially, I’m retired from MMA. I trained hard last year but Bellator was jerking me off and I retired and I am now just focusing on wrestling now. The plan is to continue wrestling. It’s who I am. I’ve been around wrestling since five years old so, I hope I can do it as long as (Chris) Jericho’s doing it so, I just gotta keep on working, keep on getting better.”
