Almost a year ago to the day, Mike “Joker” Guymon suffered a submission loss to DaMarques Johnson at UFC Fight Night 23 and announced his retirement from the sport.
Guymon, now 37, said well-documented mental problems manifested themselves into physical issues.
But now, in better mental health and with his competitive fire stoked, he’s returning to MMA in both a new weight class and a new promotion.
