Under lördagen berättade den forne UFC-fightern Rosi Sexton att hon gjort sitt i MMA och blickar fram emot nya utmaningar.
The bottom line – right now I have more to offer the sport outside the cage than inside it. I don’t want to give up on being the fighter I believe I’m capable of; but there are bigger things going on. It’s time for me to focus on other ways of making a difference. I don’t know how this will play out, or what’s ’round the next corner, but it looks like it’s finally time to use that ‘R’ word.
This isn’t how I wanted it all to end. The way it did will haunt me for as long as I’m around MMA, but that’s something I’ll learn to live with. As a veteran coming towards the end of a career, you have a choice. You can fight cans, or you can fight prospects. Anyone can look good against someone who isn’t. When you fight prospects, there’s always a chance you’ll go down in flames. Living with the knowledge that I’d taken the easy way out would have been much harder.
Sexton har tävlat i såväl Bellator som i Invincta FC samt varit mästare i Cage Warriors. Hon gick sin första proffsmatch i november 2002 och startade sin proffskarriär med fem raka vinster på avslut. I slutet av karriären gick det dock mycket sämre, där Sexton radat upp tre raka förluster, där den senaste var en knockut-förlust mot Joanna Jedrzejczyk på Cage Warriors 69.
Sexton har totalt gått 18 proffsmatcher där hon vunnit 13 av dem och förlorat 5.
