David Mitchell was cut from the UFC after a defeat at the hands of Yan Cabral on October 9th, 2013. After losing his contract to the largest MMA promotion in the world, he tried to quit fighting. But that was easier said than done.
“I lost four out of five fights. The whole thing – getting into the UFC and fighting in MMA – it was just something that I liked. But I was not good enough to be great, but too good to put it down.”
Something David did end up quitting, however, was his relationship with Dave Terrell; the former UFC title challenger who had inspired David to compete in MMA.
