Ariane da Silva announces retirement after PFL San Diego loss

After a pro career that stretches back more than a dozen years, Ariane da Silva has decided to hang up her gloves.

Jena Bishop (11-3) submitted da Silva (18-12) with an armbar in the first round on the prelims at PFL San Diego on Saturday at Pechanga Arena. The loss was her first in the PFL after she debuted in the promotion with a win over Sumiko Inaba three months ago in Pittsburgh.
