Paul Felder had an impressive run in the UFC. During his stint in the multi-billion dollar promotion, 'The Irish Dragon' took part in 15 fights and was victorious in nine of them. He competed against notable fighters like Edson Barboza, Dan Hooker, Mike Perry and former lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos.

Felder has a win over current lightweight champion Charles Oliviera. Since the loss, 'Do Bronx' has gone on to build a highly impressive 10-fight winning streak.

In May 2021, Felder announced his retirement from the sport of MMA. 'The Irish Dragon' made the declaration while working as a commentator at a UFC event. In his speech, the 37-year-old apologized to fighters ranked below him at the time for holding up the lightweight division.

"I've always said that if I don't see a title picture in a year or so, I would retire... to save myself. I'm 37-years-old, I feel very fresh; I love the UFC with all my heart for everything that they have given me. I fought some of the baddest dudes in this division. My apologies for holding up the division to all the guys behind me... it's not right to hold up the division," said Felder.
