McCarthy Retiring

Posted On: April 25, 2008 at 8:16am

UFC middleweight “Chainsaw” Charles McCarthy (10-5) announced his retirement to MMA Weekly after suffering a TKO due to an arm injury incurred while defending against “The Count” Michael Bisping‘s (15-1) knee attack.

McCarthy is 27-years old, married, and runs an American Top Team affiliate gym in Boca Raton.

McCarthy told MMA Weekly, “My goal in my career was always to be the best; and, you know, it just didn’t work out this time.  I’m okay with that.”

McCarthy appeared in The Ultimate Fighter 4, but was eliminated by “Drago” Pete Sell (7-4) in his only fight.

McCarthy said, “It is now time for me to lay down my gloves and rededicate my attention towards my business, my fighters, my family, and my team.”
