Akira Corassani (probably) announced his retirement

Although he hasn't explicitly used the word "retirement," it appears UFC featherweight Akira Corassani is hanging up his 4-ounce gloves.

Following his third KO/TKO loss in a row, the 32-year-old Swede used his Facebook page to thank his fans for supporting him during his 18-fight career.

I got into to this to challenge myself, get kicks and thrills and live life as close to Van Damme in Bloodsport as possible. I was 22 years old working at a factory confused and bored when I made a bet with my co-workers to become a fighter. They laughed and I said WATCH! I did it all and holy smoke what an adventure it has been. I feel like I could write at least 8 books about my journey, the behind the scenes stuff and other craziness. If I found a lamp today and rubbed it and a genie popped out and asked me to make a wish I would say "I wish every human being on earth could experience everything I have." Along the way I never thought of how many people I'd inspired, entertained and upset (mostly keyboard warriors). It is with deep joy I write this, I am full and content and I would never want to change a single thing. My brain has filed for a divorce and doesn't want to cooperate anymore. The passion and the technique is there but every car has a date (except for the Swedish Volvo 740). I feel like I have so much to share, show and talk about and I will in the future... From the bottom of my heart... THANK YOU ALL FOR THE WONDERFUL 12 YEARS AND I TRULY LOVE AND APPRECIATE THAT YOU TUNED IN. It was all my pleasure folks. I salute you, THE END!?

A cast member on season 14 of "The Ultimate Fighter," Corassani racked up three straight victories after debuting on the main roster but couldn't sustain his momentum.
