UFC Veteran Mike Swick Retires From MMA
On Thursday, UFC veteran Mike Swick (pictured) announced his retirement from mixed martial arts.“July 11th 2015 at UFC 189 was officially my final fight,” Swick posted on his official Facebook page. “I was healthy and injury free for the first time in 8 years but still couldn’t put my game together. There comes a time when every fighter realizes he is older and not what he use to be and I want to acknowledge this and stay true and honest to what I have always said, that I will leave when I know I am done. It’s a hard thing to do considering everyone wants to go out on top, unfortunately when your actually on top, you never wanna go out.
