Joe Solecki, a prominent figure in MMA and nine-time Octagon competitor, has announced his retirement at the age of 31. With a professional record of 13-6, Solecki reflects on ten years of pursuing his dream to compete in the UFC, highlighting valuable lessons learned throughout his journey, including personal growth, resilience, and strong relationships forged in the sport. Although retiring from MMA, he plans to stay involved in martial arts through coaching and grappling competitions, emphasizing his desire to help others pursue their own dreams.
Today, after chasing this dream for 10 years, I am officially retiring from the sport of MMA.
Despite falling short at times...I 'lived my movie.' Competing at the highest level in the UFC...has taught me more life lessons than I ever could've imagined.
I have made lifelong relationships that I'll cherish forever...and experienced the amazing feeling of victory, the adversity of defeat.
I won’t be far away from the sport, as I look forward to being on the mats every day, both training still and coaching.
