The hard-as-nails Felder put on a stellar performance, going down only via. unanimous decision. The MMA world was concerned that the fighter might retire and go back to his job of being an analyst, but Paul has seemingly put an end to all those concerns, as it was recently confirmed that he has signed a multi-fight deal with the UFC.

The news was first broken by MMA Fighting, via. Paul Felder’s manager Brian Bulter of Suckerpunch Entertainment. He confirmed that Paul isn’t going anywhere, much to the delight of his fans.
