Charles McCarthy se retira

El peleador del American Top Team Charles McCarthy (10-5-0) al ver frustrada la posibilidad de llegar a una pelea por el titulo después de su derrota ante Michael Bisping en el pasado UFC 83. Anuncio su retiro como peleador.

Antes de la pelea contra Bisping había comentado:

“Bisping’s my stepping stone to a title shot. If Bisping’s the biggest fight of my career it’ll be a sad day for me. But I don’t expect this to be my career defining moment.

Aquí esta parte de un email que envió a varios medios después de la pelea que perdiera al no poder salir al segundo round a causa de una lesión en el brazo:

“I would like to announce my formal retirement from mixed martial arts competition,” McCarthy wrote. “I have achieved many of the goals I set out to accomplish in this sport and found others just out of reach. It is now time for me to lay down my gloves and rededicate my attention towards my business, my fighters, my family and my team.”

“The successes I have found in my career are due in large part to all the great people who have helped me along the way,” he wrote in the email. “Being involved with the true champions at American Top Team has guided me to become a better father, husband, teacher and friend. Without the great generosity of ATT, my life would have had a void. I hope that everyone reading can one day feel the love of a great family as I have.”

“Thank you to all who have supported mixed martial arts. You have helped me live out a childhood dream of being a professional athlete. I am proud to say that in some small way I helped to grow our great sport and entertain fans across the world.”
