Following UFC on FOX 12 Defeat, Kyle Kingsbury Retires From MMA

Last night on FOX, Kyle Kingsbury made his return to action after two-years on the shelf.

Things didn’t go his way.

After three grueling rounds of action, Pat Cummins was able to decisively beat Kingsbury, sending him into retirement.

Following the bout, Kyle explained:

“I’m not sure if it was the time off or the fact his wrestling is so good, that I was never able to get comfortable in the octagon. He set his takedowns well, and I really couldn’t do much to stop them. That was definitely my last fight. I told everyone I didn’t want to be a .500 fighter, and so enough was enough. It didn’t make sense to get beat up anymore.”

In my run it felt like peaks and valleys but in the end I am completely grateful for it all- every beating I delt out & every beating I took

I've learned more about life in the small window I've fought than in any other venture. Life only continues to get better. I love you all 🙂
