Chris Cariaso has announced his retirement from mixed martial arts at the age of 34.
The former UFC flyweight challenger announced his decision to MMAJunkie.com on Wednesday.
“I’ve decided after 22 years of active fighting to call it a career,” Cariaso said. “It’s a bittersweet decision, as fighting and competing in a ring or cage is about all that I have known for a lifetime.
“The last four-and-a-half years fighting under the umbrella of Zuffa have been nothing short of amazing. I have so many memories and have been able to travel the world doing what I love best.
