After the fight, Pena laid his gloves down in the middle of the cage, ending his mixed martial arts (MMA) career.

At just 31 years old, who knows if Pena will actually stay retired, you know, because MMA retirements last only a couple of years.
Pena was released from UFC in Oct. 2021 for two domestic violence charges that happened within weeks of each other. The charges were ultimately dropped two years later.
Since Pena’s release from UFC, he has switched between MMA and boxing, racking up records of 0-2 in boxing (0-4 overall) and 3-5 in MMA. In the end, “Violent Bob Ross” concludes his MMA career with a 12-8 record, going 1-5 in his last five fights.
Pena was not the only UFC veteran to compete at Cage Titans 68; however, he was the only one to lose.
