Joachim Hansen suffers a stroke! Officially retires from competition

[Pride_Never)Die]

Damn, Hellboy was definitely a favorite of mine; I always wondered what kept him from coming back and taking on Aoki in lieu of Sakuraba fight or something... sad to hear it.

Hope he recovers and returns as a commentator something.

I knew he fought 2 years ago and he looked awful after so man years in the game. A truly underappreciated fighter, but I think a lot of the early lighweights will be the longer this sport goes on.

sad. was such a fun fighter. hopefully he recovers well

Dude would always go out on his sword. I enjoyed his badass style. I wish him well in retirement.

Hellboy was very good in his prime, one of the underlooked greats in the sport.

The walk away soccer kicks were legendary

 

[Buffmeister]

What most guys maybe do not know about him is that he was a part time fighter...and actually a real truck driver...

Anyway...i hope for a good recovery!!

Damn.

Use to love watching Hellboy back in the day. He has taking some beatings and reality is he probably should've walked away from the sport in about 2010 and if not then in 2012 for sure.
