Gerald Harris on retirement: ‘I made that decision in the third round’ against Seth Baczynski

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.
