When Brittney Palmer opened up on her decision to retire from UFC
Brittney Palmer, one of the most iconic ring card girls in MMA history, retired at the close of the UFC’s 2023 calendar after an illustrious career spanning over a decade. Starting at UFC 125 in 2011, Palmer concluded her tenure at UFC 296, announcing her retirement after being honored as Ringcard Girl of the Year at the 15th annual World MMA Awards.
Explaining her decision, Palmer, 36, shared with MMA Junkie Radio that her flourishing art career prompted the move:
“I’m 36 years old. I always said that once my art career started to level up to where my UFC career is and I wasn’t able to commit to both evenly, that I would have to make the decision. It was just time. You feel it."
She added:
"When I found out I won Ring Girl of the Year, I was actually in New York City working that event. All of a sudden, I was like, ‘You know what? Wouldn’t it just be epic if I could use this opportunity, where I have the mic, to retire.’ We don’t really get too much of a voice, so to have that opportunity I thought was just a great way to settle out the year and my career with UFC – and yeah, I did it.” [H/t: MMA Junkie]
