Ricard Almeida Retires from MMA After UFC 128 Loss

Ricard Almeida Retires from MMA After UFC 128 Loss
UFC welterweight Ricardo Almeida announced his retirement from mixed martial arts on Thursday after the 34-year-old Jiu Jitsu specialist suffered a unanimous decision loss to Mike Pyle earlier this month at UFC 128.

UFC welterweight Ricardo Almeida announced his retirement from mixed martial arts on Thursday after the 34-year-old Jiu Jitsu specialist suffered a unanimous decision loss to Mike Pyle earlier this month at UFC 128:

As a competitor I can think of no bigger thrill than to stand in the center of the octagon with my hands raised. During these almost four years it has been a personal struggle to find balance between my fighting career, caring for my son who was diagnosed with autism soon after I signed a six-fight deal with the UFC, teaching at my growing Jiu Jitsu Academy and the family duties we all have.

MMA is a great sport but also physically and mentally unforgiving. It is a dangerous task to step in the octagon, specially if your focus is not at 100%. After much deliberation since my fight at UFC 128 I have decided to step away from the sport as a fighter.

I will continue to fully support the UFC as a coach and of course as a big fan. I would like to thank Lorenzo Fertitta and Dana White for their leadership and vision which brought the sport to new heights. I would also like to thank Joe Silva for giving me the opportunity to compete among the best martial artists in the world.

Renzo Gracie, Mark Henry, Frankie Edgar and all my teammates who I could not have gone through this challenge without. Finally I would like to thank my wife, children and family as well as my students. You will have my integral dedication from here on. Lastly the fans who make MMA the greatest sport there is.

Almeida (13-5) returned to the UFC in 2008 nearly four years after his last fight and won four of his first five bouts, including wins over Kendall Grove and Matt Brown. After a surprising first-round submission loss to former champion Matt Hughes in August, Almeida rebounded over TJ Grant in December before falling to Pyle.

Despite UFC President Dana White calling a likely end to his UFC career with a second-straight loss to Brendan Schaub at UFC 128, heavyweight Mirko Cro Cop hopes to return to the Octagon one more time, but is willing to accept retirement if the promotion sticks with its decision:

“There’s one fight left on my UFC contract. I will have this fight, regardless of what the reporters think,” Cro Cop told ESPN. “However, there’s a possibility that the UFC will insist on not allowing me to fight. I will accept their decision.

“It’s time to retire, despite the fact that I want to continue. Next year, it will be 20 years since my first fight… I had a great career, and I don’t regret anything. But I don’t want to finish it defeated.

“I was more than ready for my last two fights, but still, I was unable to see the punches coming. I would like to apologize to all my fans. Believe me, I’m also very disappointed.”

Georges St. Pierre ‘Rush to the Top’ PPV Special Premier Dates Announced

Georges St. Pierre ‘Rush to the Top’ PPV Special Premier Dates Announced

Integrated Sports Media (ISM), the undisputed distribution champion of mixed martial arts and boxing fights in North America, announced today that it will present a one-hour special featuring Georges “Rush” St. Pierre’s six non-UFC fights, including his first five and rarely seen 2002 debut, prior to him developing into the Pound-for-Pound King of MMA.

“George St. Pierre: Rush To The Top” will be exclusively distributed in the United States by ISM, premiering in April for viewing on both cable and satellite pay-per-view on the following dates: DirecTV and DISH Network (April 1), Avail-TVN (Apr. 11) and iN DEMAND (Apr. 12), as well as via Video On Demand, for only $9.95. Check listings for replays through the entire month of April and into May.

“We’re thrilled and privileged to bring this unique footage of St. Pierre, the No. 1 ranked welterweight in the world and reigning UFC champion in the 170-pound division, to MMA fans in the United States,” ISM president Doug Jacobs said. “This exciting six-fight package is where it all started for one of the greatest MMA fighters of all-time.”

St. Pierre, who sports an amazing 21-2-0 career record (8 KOs, 5 submissions), started learning Kyokushin karate from his father at the age of seven in order to defend himself from a school bully. He later studied Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), wrestling and boxing. Today, he holds a third-degree black belt in Kyokushin, as well as black belts in BJJ and Gaidojutsu.

The 20008 & 2009 Canadian Athlete of the Year had his first amateur MMA match at the age of 16. St. Pierre made his MMA pro debut January 25, 2002, defeating previously unbeaten (4-0) Ivan Menjivar, in Montreal, by first-round technical knockout (punches) in UCC 7: Bad Boyz.

Five months later in Gatineau, Canada, Georges captured the UCC (Canadian) Welterweight Championship, forcing Justin Bruckmann (4-1) to submit (arm-bar) in the opening round in UCC 10: Battle for the Belts 2002.His first and only UCC title defense came October 11, 2002 in Montreal, when St. Pierre stopped Travis Galbraith (5-1) in the first round at UCC11: The Next Level.

MMA’s future superstar next took on Thomas Denny, who was riding a three-fight win streak January 25, 2003 into UCC12: Adrenaline in Montreal. It took Georges two rounds to win for the first time as Denny was defeated by technical knockout on cuts. Denny was a US citizen so the fight wasn’t for St. Pierre’s UCC title belt.

In his fifth pro match and last non-UFC fight, “Rush” took on UFC veteran Pete Spratt, who was coming off of a victory by submission in UFC 42 against Robbie Lawler, who went on to capture the Elite XC middleweight title. St. Pierre locked-in a rear naked choke against Spratt (12-6), who tapped-out at 3:40 of the first round in their November 29, 2003 fight in Victoriaville, Canada on the TKO 14: Road Warriors card.

St. Pierre made his UFC debut two months later en route to becoming arguably the greatest all-around fighter in MMA history. Three fights after making his UFC debut, GSP bounced back from his first pro MMA loss (Matt Hughes, 1st round submission – arm-bar) in his last non-UFC fight at TKO 19: Rage, in which he defeated Dave Strasser by first-round submission (Kimura) in Montreal.

His most notable victims reads like a list of the true MMA elite, including B.J. Penn (twice), Matt Serra, Matt Hughes, Dan Hardy, John Fitch, Thiago Alves, and Josh Koscheck. Georges is 8-2 in UFC title fights and he is scheduled to next defend his title belt April 30 headlining UFC129 against Jake Shields in Toronto.
