Felicia Spencer revealed the reason for retiring from MMA
Felicia Spencer announced her retirement from the sport on December 2nd, 2021.
The former undefeated Invicta champion believes that mental health and longevity is her top priority at the moment, and that it forced her to make the tough decision.
In an interview with Fightbananas.com, Spencer said:
"I have decided to stop pursuing this opportunity and have no intention to continue fighting. I felt as good as I’ve ever been in my last fight, and know I could have more great performances, but after 18 fights, including a few "wars'. I know in my heart for my future mental health that I shouldn’t be in more of those wars. In the fight game that isn’t guaranteed, and I’ve shown myself that I won’t give up in the cage, so I need to protect myself by just not stepping in there. I’m thinking about myself and family 25 years from now. Mental health is an important consideration in my family.”
