Nick Newell: Announces retirement from MMA competition
Following his unanimous decision win over Tom Marcellino at WSOF 24 on Saturday in Connecticut, Newell announced his retirement from active MMA competition.
ANALYSIS
Considering that Newell was born with a congenital amputation of his right arm, he had a fantastic career. His only loss came against undefeated lightweight champion Justin Gaethje in July of last year. It's not a surprise, but Newell would have had problems against more talented fighters with just one arm. He certainly had a nice run and hopefully he earned himself some financial stability for the future.
