  "summary": "UFC veteran Hailey Cowan has announced her retirement from mixed martial arts following a TKO loss to Nina Milošević at UFC Belgrade. The 34-year-old fighter suffered a first-round defeat from a body punch, marking her fourth consecutive stoppage loss and bringing her UFC record to 0-4. Cowan earned her UFC spot in August 2022 but faced a challenging run, including injuries like a ruptured ovarian cyst, which prevented her from securing a win in the octagon. In her UFC debut, Milošević earned a $100,000 performance bonus for her dominant victory, quickly setting her sights on future fights in the 135-pound division. Cowan's immediate retirement after a loss is rare, but her decision is seen as understandable given her difficult journey.",
