The woman known as \u201cThe Queen of Violence\u201d has decided to call it a career.<\/p>\n
Ariane Lipski da Silva<\/a> announced her retirement via social media following a first-round submission loss to Jena Bishop<\/a> at PFL San Diego<\/a> on Saturday night. Lipski da Silva went 1-1 under the Professional Fighters League<\/a>banner but exits the sport having lost four of her last five professional outings.<\/p>\n “Officially retired from MMA,\u201d Lipski da Silva wrote on Instagram. \u201cEverything has a beginning, a middle, and an end. Yesterday was the last time I stepped into the cage, bringing to a close a journey of nearly 13 years as a professional MMA fighter, with the privilege of competing in the biggest organizations in the world. I’m grateful for everything this sport has given me; for every opportunity, every lesson, and every door it opened along the way. I gave my best to help women’s MMA grow, even knowing that, at times, my best may not have been enough.<\/p>\n \u201cMy hope is that I played a small part in creating more opportunities for the next generation. More importantly, I hope the young women who are just beginning understand that they don’t have to compromise their values to become champions. Honor should never be sacrificed, because the people we choose to honor are often the ones who help us go the farthest. I’ve learned that defeat is painful. It’s bitter, but it shapes our character and prepares us for real life. I’ve also learned that victory is sweet and filled with joy, but it can deceive the heart of anyone who isn’t grounded in something greater.<\/p>\n \u201cTo everyone who stood by me throughout this journey, supporting me, believing in me, and cheering for me regardless of the outcome,thank you from the bottom of my heart. The Queen of Violence is done.\u201d<\/p>\n From KSW to UFC<\/p>\n The 32-year-old Brazilian rose to prominence under the KSW<\/a> banner, where she went 5-0 while capturing the Polish organization\u2019s flyweight crown. During that stretch, Lipski da Silva finished four of her five victories inside the distance.<\/p>\n Her UFC<\/a> tenure was marked by inconsistency, as she compiled a 6-8 mark within the Las Vegas-based organization. Her most notable stretch was a three-bout winning streak in 2023 that included victories over J.J. Aldrich<\/a>, Melissa Gatto<\/a> and Casey O\u2019Neill. Lipski da Silva parted ways with the UFC on a three-fight skid. She then outpointed Sumiko Inaba<\/a> at PFL Pittsburgh on March 28 before falling to Bishop. Lipski da Silva finished with an 18-12 professional record overall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ariane Lipski da Silva competed for the PFL, UFC and KSW over the course of a 30-fight pro…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":767428,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[570],"tags":[365298,64,63,786,365299,785,85,787,202968],"class_list":["post-767427","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mma","tag-ariane-lipski","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-fighting","tag-lipski-da-silva","tag-mma","tag-sports","tag-ufc","tag-women39s-mma"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/767427","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=767427"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/767427\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/767428"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=767427"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=767427"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=767427"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
