“Endings are sad, beginnings are scary... but it’s the middle that counts. I embrace and welcome this chapter of my life and will work hard and strive for excellence in everything that I will do!”
Donovan, known to some fans as “Donnybrook,” dropped three straight fights after winning his UFC debut in 2012. The 33-year-old fighter defeated Nick Penner before losing to Ovince St. Preux, Gian Villante and, most recently, Nikita Krylov. All three of those losses came by way of technical knockout or knockout.
