Video: Paul Felder contemplates retirement following UFC Auckland loss to Dan Hooker

Dan Hooker and Paul Felder fought an incredible back-and-forth battle for five full rounds at UFC on ESPN+ 26 on Saturday (Sunday local time) in Auckland, New Zealand. 

The decision was razor thin with two judges scoring the fight for Hooker, the other scoring it for Felder. 

With the split-decision loss in hand, Felder was understandably emotional in his post-fight interview. Citing his family as a chief reason, he said that the fight with Hooker may be the last time that we see the 35-year-old fighter in the Octagon.

Despite some heated moments in the lead-up to the fight, Hooker and Felder were nothing but respectful following the fight.
