Chad George is fighting his final professional mixed martial arts bout in July. The 37-year-old picked Shawne Merriman's Lights Out Xtreme Fighting's LXF2 event on July 6 as his last showing. He's walking away from fighting at an age when most fighters are still seeing what they have left. However, for George (17-8) it's not a question of what he has left but what he has to give to the generation behind him.
"On Sunday, I've got 22 of my jiu-jitsu students competing," George said with excitement when talking about why his LXF 2 match will be his last.
