Veteran UFC lightweight Stevie Ray has announced his retirement from MMA due to health issues.
The Scotsman announced the news on Facebook on Monday. Ray (23-9) fought eleven times in the UFC, going 7-4 in the process. ‘Braveheart’ last fought at UFC Singapore in October 2019, winning a majority decision against fellow veteran Michael Johnson. Ray, who turned 30 this year, also picked up wins against the likes of Ross Pearson and Joe Lauzon during his time with the promotion.
In the retirement video he broadcast on Facebook, Ray said an ongoing knee injury is what forced his retirement.
