Rick Story retires...

[Spookv]

Good for him. He still got brains in tact and he's still young to start a career if whatever venture he wants to do. I just feel bad because the last thing remember of him was his head almost getting popped off by Maia

 

[Elmo]

So 34 year old Rick Story is retiring...and Chuck and Tito are banging here soon?
Crazy freaking world I live in.

 

[TriangleMonkey]

Didnt he sub a dude while the dudes guard? Thats beast strength, he shouldnt have been able to land that......

[Kaybee]

Good luck to him in his future endeavors; always fun to watch fight

Yeah? Any idea who that was vs?

Would love to see the gif

Was it an arm triangle or something?


edit: looks like it was vs Brian Foster, who I was always a fan of

edit 2: didn't see that Brian beat Nijem recently by sweet flying knee↓

I will most remember him for losing to Charlie Brenneman and ending the Gunnar Nelson hype train.

 

[Muay Thai #1]

Always really enjoyed watching him fight, solid guy

 

[KinG]

I always thought he would do better then he Did, he looked like a future champ or a future titel challenger when he started. Wish him them best

 

[milliniar]

So the reboot to the Horror story in 20 years?

 

[Brock Tober]

This sucks. I was a huge fan. Story will be missed.

 

[whaleshark]

I don’t think I’ve ever met a guy named Rick that I never liked
Hespect

 

[Mondo Freaks]

The Brenneman fight was his downfall

 

[Pakman]

Dude was always a tough fight, except for Maia. Was never the best but definitely a dude not to take lightly.

Thanks for the fights Rick!

This. Not everyone ends up a top level guy. That doesn't mean they suck either. Story was a solid fighter who had some good wins in his career. Maybe not the best like you said, but he was capable of winning any fight he was in.

 

[PopeUrbanII]

Salute warrior! Good luck in life.

"End of Story" is no match for the end of Mike Goldberg's career.

[dead joe]

Damned, him and Michael McDonald in the same year, neither came close to reaching his potential.

 

[Ying Li]

He was on a fast track to fight GSP but lost against Brenneman short notice. His mistake was not switching from his Brave Legion camp and going to a top camp.

He was entertaining. Best luck to him!

I will most remember him for losing to Charlie Brenneman and ending the Gunnar Nelson hype train.

The Brenneman fight was his downfall

I was in Pittsburgh for that fight. He had beaten Hendricks and Alves so to see him lose to The Spaniard was a surprise. The crowd was loving it though because Charlie is from Pittsburgh.
Same night Kongo came back from hell to KO Berry.

 

[MayhemMonkey]

what was the name of his original trainer again? that guy was a total gym bro that seriously held Rick back early in his career
