Former UFC welterweight star Chris Lytle has failed in his bid to be nominated for state senate in Indiana.
In the end Lytle came in second in a three-horse race for the nomination after taking 30% of the vote, with the winner pulling in 41%.
Responding the result on Twitter Lytle nodded to his MMA roots as he acknowledged, “It was a good fight.”
Lytle retired from the sport of MMA on a high last year with a win over Dan Hardy . He now plans to enjoy spending more time with his family and will continue his career as a fireman.
