14-Time UFC Veteran Darren Stewart Announces Retirement from MMA
Briefly

It hurts me to write this, but I think it's time to call it a day. Not by choice, but I'm forced to because I've lost a lot to this game trying to survive, and I can't do it no more. When UFC let me go I should have invested something, but instead I put all my eggs in one basket AGAIN to get back to the top and life has gotten even worse. I've got family, and it's not fair on them stressing just to keep food on the table.
I love fighting, and I don't want to call it as I'm only 33, but I'm not getting any help financially. Spoke about it a few times, so not going to go into it. Maybe I'll get into boxing if it ever arises, but MMA? .....yeah I'm done. Brings tears writing this seriously, but it is what it is. I'll still teach 1-2-1 or seminars and still do Jiu Jitsu here and there because I feel I can still pass knowledge on.
