One of the hardest parts of combat sports is knowing when to walk away. Often the dangerous whispers of victory, or the murmurs of fame and monetary gain, plague a fighter’s mind—convincing them to take just one more fight. There is always a skeptical moment among combat sports fans when we hear a fighter is going to retire. But, for UFC and Bellator veteran Gerald Harris it was his last fight that cemented his retirement.
The 40-year old was in action at C3 Fights 48 in Oklahoma, against fellow UFC alumni Seth Baczynski. A fitting and victorious end for the hometown hero who has fought over half his fights as a professional MMA fighter in the state of Oklahoma.
