After a one-sided decision loss to Alex Garcia at UFC 189, which took place last Saturday (July 11, 2015) in Las Vegas, Nevada, former Ultimate Fighter (TUF) original and one-time welterweight division star Mike Swick has left the sport of mixed martial arts (MMA) for good.
The 36-year-old veteran, who battled back from numerous injuries throughout his 14-plus year fight career, officially hung up his gloves in an announcement from his official Facebook page:
"July 11th 2015 at UFC 189 was officially my final fight. I was healthy and injury free for the first time in 8 years but still couldn't put my game together.
