And like I said, this guy is a true veteran fighter. 15 professional boxing fights, 53 total MMA fights (30-18-5), 19 UFC fights, 2 WEC fights, and a participant on UFC's The Ultimate Fighter. Another crazy statistic - in his 18 losses he has never been TKO'd or KO'd. You know what his other job is? He is a firefighter. This guy is tough as nails and ALWAYS brings a good fight, he will surely be missed by the MMA community. I will definitely have to do a career highlight post for him later this week.
Thanks for the exciting career Chris.

how old is he? i think he's kinda young to retire!
and... do the firefighteres pay that good?!?!!
Nice post!
@Diego
I think that their retirement age might be much lower than we imagine it to be. It's all about body, it's capabilities, strength and vitality. Even if you're young, there are sometimes people who are still younger.
Or he might have decided to do something different in his life, invest the money he got, etc. We should wish him well.
He's a legend.
Wow, he sounds like the kind of guy you don't want to mess around with... But damn, retiring already, that's kind of crazy... :p
The young retirement age isn't necessarily a bad thing. Fighting into old age risks all sorts of brain damage and such, like career pro football players.
