The UFC is down a fighter as Cheyanne Vlismas has announced her retirement from professional MMA competition.
Vlismas announced the news on Instagram:
“As of today I am officially retired. This decision comes with a lot of heart break. But this is something that I need to do. After having my second child, my time is very limited. I am unable to give 100 percent into my training without giving less of myself to my babies. This decision comes as I am choosing to be the parent that I wish I always had growing up..
“As hard as this decision is because I love fighting so much with all my heart. My kids will always be put first.I know I am young and I could make a comeback but my decision came down to could I leave my kids for 2 months for a training camp? I simply cannot do so. ... This was a dream. I didn’t get to fulfill all my dreams, but I made it to the highest level and now I’m going to choose to give my all into being a mother .And lastly, thank you to all my fans.”
Vlismas went 7-3-0 during her professional MMA career, with notable wins coming over Hilarie Rose, Gloria De Paula and Mallory Martin. Vlismas also had an extended amateur MMA career, where she fought notables like Gillian Robertson and Kyra Batara. Vlismas last competed at UFC Fight Night 216 in December of 2022, suffering a unanimous decision loss to Cory McKenna.
