Cedenblad (14-5 MMA, 4-2 UFC), a 36-year-old from Sweden, announced the news on his Instagram feed in his native language. Translated, Cedenblad said in part that he “must now move on with my life and start a whole new chapter instead of sticking to a dream that fades more and more.” In the post, Cedenblad said current injuries, combined with a past history of injury issues, were the biggest factor in his decision, and that he currently “does not see any light in the tunnel” for a return. Cedenblad retires about 21 months after a second-round TKO loss to Jack Marshman at UFC Fight Night 99 in Belfast in November 2016. Prior to that setback, he was on a four-fight winning streak – though due to injuries it took nearly three years to get those four wins. After starting his pro career with two straight losses in 2007 as a light heavyweight, he moved to middleweight and went on a 10-1 run, fighting mostly in Europe
