It seems that George Sent-Pierre introduced new fashion in MMA. If earlier fighters constantly "retired", and later any time from it "came back", now all take vacation without final date. It was made today by the heavyweight of UFC Pat Berri, having declared that leaves the mixed single combats for an indefinite term.

According to the published press release, 34-year-old Berri asked UFC to exempt it from the existing contract with the organization – and promotion met requirements of him.

Berri (8-7) debuted in MMA in the 2008th, and same year with a record (3-0) passed into UFC. Here it swept on career "roller coaster", having won 5 fights and having lost 7. Spectacular, charismatic and to the core loyal to the employer the heavyweight could speak on behalf further under UFC banners, despite two defeats in succession of Sean Jordan and Soa Paleley. However Pat decided to put MMA occupations on a pause... probably, in it are guilty endured by it heavy уходы in a knockout?

The heavyweight calls absolutely other reason.

"In the last some fights at me sucked in the pit of the stomach: each time, leaving in oktagon, I understood – I DON'T WANT to FIGHT. I don't say that I won't return any more to MMA, but now I want to beat only people (in a rack). MMA and UFC made for me a lot of good, and I will always join in also sports as a whole. I want to thank all the fans, sponsors and heyter that were with me on this travel. I with hope wait prepared to me future".

Transparent hint what Berry will return to a kickboxing? You correctly understood everything. The manager of the fighter Brian Butler in clear reported that Berry is going "to return to roots". We will remind, Pat (18-6-1 kickboxing) carried out the last fight by the rules K-1 in 2007, having conceded to Freddie Kemayo's technical knockout, and before lost the separate decision of judges Zabita Samedova.

We will look that from this leaves.
