Should have retired after Chandler. He got dominated by Oliveira and Dariush but was arguably winning round 1, knocked Chandler down but then immediately got KO'd rather than dominated like in all of his next fights.

[@jaceladouceur3492]

Because the Brazilian crowds are the worst in all of MMA. They do not respect their fighters and if Dana and the UFC were smart they wouldn't go back to Brazil until those "fans" prove they deserve it.

[@mklip2001]

Agreed. I would say Shogun should have retired after his last fight with Little Nog on July 25, 2020. That was an appropriate fight between two veterans, and the outcome was close. The next fight, Shogun got TKOed in a rematch with Paul Craig.

[@CityLover117]

I think cowboy Cerrone had an awesome retirement too. Despite a loss. Coming off of back to back weight cuts. Going from Joe Lauzon to Jim miller on short notice was the embodiment of Cowboy’s “anyone anytime anywhere” mentality. I hope Poirier retires after this Islam fight because of that too. For a fighter that has so much dog in him. To get his nose crushed by a head butt. Partial tear in his acl during a grappling exchange. To survive so many close sub attempts. To win the 4th round going into the 5th just showed how much dog poirier has. Although it would suck to end on a loss it would embody his career as a fighters fighter.

I think this is a loaded topic, my personal experience is pretty light, I played baseball when I was younger but I was never that great, there was never a realistic opportunity for me to be pro. But I loved it, and I remember my last game in HS, it was tough to let go. It was a big part of my life. So I can understand why pro athletes hang on too long sometimes, and I'm not gonna hate em for it. When it comes to combat sports though, I just don't want to see them get hurt or have serious, permanent injuries.

[@TheElbowMerchant]

Same exact thing for me with football in high school. I cried in the locker room as I took off my uniform and pads, knowing full well that I'd never put them on again. Thankfully, I found kickboxing and MMA, and so I discovered another form of competition to fill that void. Still, it's extremely nostalgic to look back on that final game.

[@markzuckergecko621]

@@TheElbowMerchant nice, glad you found a new outlet to scratch the itch. And yea I remember my last game vividly, I played on a pretty shitty summer select team, we usually got absolutely crushed by elite teams, but we played a tournament that was a little weaker competition than usual, and we actually won the final, it was one of the only tournaments we actually won. It was a pretty badass way for us seniors to end the year, but it was bittersweet, I remember just looking around the field and soaking it all in, because I knew it was probably the last time. I did end up playing a few years in some casual open sign up league for adults, so it wasn't the very last time I ever played ball, but it was the last time that ever really meant anything.

[@TheElbowMerchant]

@markzuckergecko621 Finishing on a high note sounds pretty rad. Our team had been promoted to a higher division because we had been undefeated the previous season, so we started playing against teams with 1000+ students (my graduating class had 73 people), so we got absolutely ANNIHILATED every single game my senior year. We usually lost by at least 21 points, and I think we got blown out by like 40 points in the final game. I played offense, defense, and most special teams because there were only 23 people on the team, many of whom were freshmen and sophomores (this was varsity), so yeah, to say that I, and we, got our butts handed to us would be an understatement, haha. Still, I look back on it fondly, without even a hint of embarrassment nowadays. It taught me a lot about teamwork, identity, and never giving up. Marching out onto the field, knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that you're about to get destroyed, but playing on regardless, definitely taught humility and mental toughness that served me well in my future combat sports journey. Anyway, it's been nice chatting with you. I don't often read comments that I can relate to so much, but I do appreciate the rare occasions when that happens.

[@markzuckergecko621]

@@TheElbowMerchant damn, that's rough. Lol, so we both have experience with shitty teams. I was on some good teams too, there's a positive and negative to both. I didn't play as much on the good teams and was just kind of a supplementary hitter at the middle to bottom of the lineup, and I was the boss on the bad teams, leadoff hitter, center fielder and one of the better pitchers. So I liked that responsibility and opportunity to shine, but I also liked winning. I never played football but our HS team was trash, we won 4 games in the 4 years I was there🤣 and 2 of them were my senior year. You can do the math.

Two light heavyweight legends, one UFC and the other Pride, squared off and put on a fight you never thought you'd get to see. And it was the rare legendary fight that actually lived up to the hype. Chuck won the fight and should've walked away then. But instead, he went on to get knocked out by a one-armed Rich Franklin, then came back like 10 years later for a pointless stinker of a fight against Ortiz. Disappointing.

Jens Pulver is the fighter who made me love MMA and the one who made me not love it. I started watching around Liddell vs Rampage in the UFC and dove head first into the sport. This was the same year as TUF 5 where BJ and Jens were coaches. Jens had great boxing for the time and after hearing his story and how he composed himself on the show, was an instant fan. He was my favorite fighter. Was gutted he lost to BJ but thought he will bounce back and get back on a win streak. He's why I became a big fan of the WEC back then. After he lost all his matches in the WEC I just wished he would retire and stop putting himself at risk of being hurt. Then he'd get a win and it'd seem like maybe he's still got it. Then when I saw him get KO'd by Tim Elliot I couldn't watch his fights any more. Didn't watch any after that and was happy when I heard he had finally retired. But this is why I can't have a favorite fighter any more. When they lose and continue to lose it's so devastating. Tony was the closest I've had to that feeling again and I think all fans of Tony know what I mean. Hell even BJ made it tough. This is the toughest sport to be a fan of.

Not only that, but it is very good to know how to fight, for evil lurks in every corner and crack across the world. I know I will be able to do enough at least to stop it right where I find it, thanks to the fights I have experienced. I mean, I hope I can, and hope I am strong enough. You can never be strong enough though, that is why you shouldn't "retire" and reinforces the point I am making here. Even in defeat, you become stronger if you just use your head.

Big Nog- KO'ing Schaub in front of his home crowd of Brazil. Sakuraba- Agreed. Gracie- Saku rematch at K1 Dynamite. I'm a huge Saku fan but if we're talking Royce then this avenged his loss and although he did pop for PEDS, the win stayed on his record. Shamrock- Kimo rematch at UFC 48. I did agree at first but Ken came off so bad coaching TUF that I think it's more of a black mark on his career. Bisping- GSP fight, man got that payday. Cro Cop- Agreed. Penn- Agreed. DC- Agreed. Silva- Agreed. Fedor- Vs Tim Johnson in Russia. It was in front of his home crowd where he is a national hero and he looked incredible in that fight. His hand speed was so impressive that I had convinced myself he was going to do the same to Bader in their rematch and retire as Champion. Now had he retired against Tim I would be pissed off as I would have been convinced he could have won the big one before leaving, but in hindsight not as pissed off as watching him get obliterated by Bader a second time. Couture- Vs Toney. Randy was defending the sport against an invading force who wanted to mock and belittle it. Couture destroyed Toney and it would have been a perfect send off one of MMA's greatest ambassadors. Was it ''Silly'' only in hindsight.. It was akin to the freak show fights of Japan I guess, but Toney was decorated boxing Champion. It was no less legitimate than Lesnar coming in and fighting Mir in his debut.
