Mike Kyle (19-9-1-2 NC) left the final Strikeforce show defeated and has apparently had enough, telling Ariel Helwani that he was retiring.

Mike Kyle just walked by me seconds after losing to Gegard Mousasi and said, "It's not in me anymore. That was my last one."

Strikeforce didn't have much for a LHW division but he might have been the least impressive fighter in the division. He must have known that he wasn't going to be called up to UFC. Oh well, I wish him the best.

Yeah, it definitey seemed like he gave up pretty quick for a fight that he was pretty adamant about. He was in some entertaining fights, had some good wins, and got to do what he wanted, but the sport has passed him up. Hopefully he can find something to do from this point, can't be easy for alot of ex-fighters.

Isn't Mike Kyle the one that was charged for sexual assault?

Huh? This is the first I'm hearing of this. Maybe you're thinking of Mike Whitehead?

I was at the Strikeforce event where Mike Kyle blasted Bigfoot. I thought it was a done deal, but Bigfoot recovered well.

Yep, that's the rapist I was thinking of.

Good riddance to a true scumbag.

The only guy I can think of who could hold the distinction of being the most disgusting human being in the ring when fighting Wes Sims.

Pretty sure you're thinking of Mike Whitehead, not Mike Kyle.
