British heavyweight Mark Goodbeer has announced his retirement from mixed martial arts following a 17-fight career.
The four-time UFC competitor announced his decision via Facebook:
Godbeer was expected to make his light heavyweight debut against Luis Henrique Barbosa de Oliveira at UFC Fight Night 137 in Sao Paulo this past weekend but was forced to withdraw from the contest due to injury. The 34-year-old went 2-2 in UFC competition, besting Walt Harris and Daniel Spitz while falling to Dmitriy Sosnovskiy and Justin Ledet.
