Nick Hein retires from MMA following UFC Stockholm loss to Frank Camacho

It turns out that UFC Stockholm produced not just one, but two retirements.

While headliner Alexander Gustafsson garnered all the major headlines by calling it a career after his loss to fellow light heavyweight contender Anthony Smith, German lightweight Nick Hein has since announced that he’s also retiring.

20 years of Judo. Ten years in the national team.

One decade of MMA, 5 years in the UFC.

I am ready for the next chapter.

Thanks to everyone.

I am looking for the future.

The 35-year-old lost by second-round TKO to Frank Camacho on the preliminary card.
