MILWAUKEE, WI, August 14 – For over 12 years, veteran welterweight Chris Lytle thrilled fans with his unforgettable performances. In the final fight of his mixed martial arts career Sunday night at Bradley Center, he left another lasting impression, submitting Dan Hardy in the third round of another war that left no question that the man known as “Lights Out” will never be forgotten.

Entering the Octagon for the final time, Lytle had a smile on from ear to ear, and the fans greeted him with the ovation he deserved for his years as one of the sport’s truest battlers. But just to make sure Hardy wasn’t going to get sentimental on him, he cracked him with an overhand right to start the bout, and a couple of hard body shots followed.

It was clear that Lytle was putting everything into each shot in order to finish the bout, but Hardy took every punch well as he looked to counter. Two minutes in though, Hardy began to lead more, which Lytle had no problem with as he came firing back. The remainder of the round saw each fighter take turns teeing off, but by the time the bell sounded, it appeared that Lytle had the edge.
