Se ha lesionado, esta fuera del UFC 55, y ha decidido retirarse de la competicion de MMA, si bien seguira promoviendo este deporte desde sus otros ambitos (shows, TV, eventos etc...)
Looks like I'm out of the fight.
during training for my Cage Rage world title last time out, I damaged the cartilage in my chest/rib cage. I thought it was fine until i was show jumping and fell from my horse as I landed from a jump. I fell on my side and I felt a sharp pain and tear in my chest area. It looks like it is the same injury I had from my Cage Rage fight. I cannot put any weight or pressure on my chest and I even have difficulty sleeping at night as I am lying down and that is when the injury is at it worse.
I am sorry but it looks like I will be unfit to fight in the UFC.
I have also had a good think about my fight career and realise I cannot continue to put fights in jeopardy like this, so I am officially retired from fighting as from today. I will however try to promote the sport from other ventures in my life. i have a movie to finish and tv presenting also, but rest assured, I will promote our sport in every way I can.
My fight career was a seven year span from the age of 31 to 38 and I have enjoyed the short but very hard journey. sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused and I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone that has supported me throughout my career.
