I was a big Pendred fan during the Cage Warriors days, but his UFC career was lack-luster at best.  Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing him back in local shows in the UK.

He got into the big time and could not hack it.  I have the feeling he will be back, though.  He is only 28, afterall.

Same with what Ben said,I liked him in his CWFC days,I don't really mind watching grinders.I knew he wouldn't do well in the UFC but got more wins than I thought he was going to,but most were due to level of competition and BS decisions,so kinda did how expected performance wise and not looking at it on paper.At only 28 yrs old I tend to agree with rappinpapsoda that he'll be back eventually in mma.Even though he sounded very genuine and sure he is done competing it could change,and usually does with fighters.To be perfectly honest,I don't really care if he comes back to mma or not,being so slow and a bit chinny, I don't think he'll ever have the success he wants so I think moving on is probably best.

I will forever remember him...for a few things.  He will go over to WSOF.  Watch.

Reading that post was almost as boring as his fights.

Shame more of his fights in the UFC weren't like the Mike King fight.

Cathal may be bald but he is a handsome man, he will be okay after fighting.

In Cage Warriors he was entertaining and I thought he would be able to hold his own in the big leagues. Unfortunately after the Mike King fight in the UFC, he became very boring and was outclassed in all his fights. He isn't even 30 yet so I think we will see him fight again before too long.

I would take a bet Pendred will return for UFC ireland next year as co-main or preliminary main and
