Spencer Fisher refuses to close the door on his fighting career despite earlier remarks
UFC lightweight veteran, Spencer Fisher hasn’t ruled out returning to action inside the octagon despite indicating prior to his UFC on FX 4 showdown with Sam Stout that this would be the last fight of his professional mixed martial arts career.
In a post on The Underground forum, Fisher said:
“I would like to say thanks to everybody that has supported me through out my career. But, I can’t keep losing and expect to keep a career in fighting when you are losing more than you are winning. Last night I did not get hurt once and found my range and felt like my old self again. I was having fun again! Congrats to Stout, he always brings out the best in me. He did throw me off with his wrestling, I was expecting to be a mostly stand up fight. But this is MMA not boxing. Thank you Dana White, Joe Silva and all you fans for your support. And of course everyone that has helped me get here, there are too many of you to name. I am not closing the door just yet, but I am not jumping into anything either. Time is ticking for me.”
Fisher has been a fan favourite for many years with UFC fans but that doesn’t disguise the fact that he’s lost five of his last six fights inside the octagon and is currently on a three-fight losing streak. Will “The King” return to the octagon one last time in an attempt to go out on a high? Tell us what you think…
