In a week filled with MMA retirements, add one more to the throng.

Koscheck came to MMA after massively successful collegiate wrestling career that saw him earn Division I All-American honors four times, including winning a national championship. He rose to prominence in MMA after appearing on the inaugural season of The Ultimate Fighter, where in the semifinals he lost a split decision to eventual winner Diego Sanchez.

Koscheck went on to have a very successful MMA career, including a welterweight title shot against Georges St-Pierre at UFC 124.
