It was actually during his commentary duties on Tuesday that led to talks about his fighting career. After commentating ‘Dana White’s Contender Series,’ Brendan Fitzgerald asked him about making a comeback.

“Truthfully, for the first time in a very long time since retirement, I feel like since the triathlon season has slowed and there’s not a lot of races, that I’ve really kind of had a chance to reflect on that it’s over, that I’m not fighting anymore,” Felder said in the video (transcription via Adam Martin). “I have missed it tremendously. I’ve started hitting pads, I’ve started doing stuff. Now, that’s not to say that I’m making some comeback. But I’m definitely going home, I want to train with Sean Brady and the guys a little bit. I want to see how I feel after a week of training with guys like Sean Brady, Jeremiah Wells, Pat Sabatini, and Andrei Petroski — these guys that are all Philly guys in the UFC now — kicking my ass, and then we’ll go from there.”

Brendan Fitzgerald uploaded the video to his YouTube channel and it has gotten the MMA community excited. Paul Felder has always been known for fighting just about anyone and always putting on exciting fights.
