“I talked to my manager and I'm no longer in the UFC. It would be very easy to give up, but I will move on. I made the changes too late and now I have to pay for it. But I have a clear head right now. I will continue to believe and work towards the next step”, wrote the American.
Adams was discovered by Ultimate on 'Dana White's Contender Series'. The athlete signed his contract with the organization after defeating Shawn Teed with an imposing knockout in the first round.
For the organization, Juan made his debut in a fight against Chris de la Rosa at UFC Milwaukee, in December 2018. On that occasion, the American defeated his opponent by knockout in the third round.
