Quick read

Themba Gorimbo has announced his retirement from mixed martial arts, bringing an end to his run as a UFC welterweight. In an Instagram post made public on a Thursday evening in late June 2026, he said he had "given all I can" to the sport and indicated he was ready to move on. The decision comes shortly after his narrow split-decision loss earlier this month at UFC Perth against Jonathan Micallef in Australia. Gorimbo’s announcement marks the close of a notable journey for the Zimbabwean fighter, who had aspired to become UFC champion.
