Who is the youngest top 3 fighter to retire from mma?

[Fedor>Cain]

George left on a win streak and with the respect of fans and peers.

Nah, he left after he lost to Hendricks lol

he literally got booed post fight

 

[Pakman]

Correct answer but not what i was thinking of, it was fairly recently. Young guy had his first fight in UFC and looked fairly impressive, then retired in the post fight interview saying it was his dream to reach the ufc and that he accomplished it of something

EDIT: Frankie Perez. KO'd Sam Stout in his debut in under a minute then retired, after which Bisping trashed him quite a bit

he's actually back from retirement now. He's lost his last 2 since coming back. He was just on the Weidman vs Gastelum card vs Chris Wade

Somewhat offtopic, anyone know the name of the guy who retired after his very first UFC fight?

Phil Brooks?

i figured he would be back sooner or later, gotta pay the bills. i missed that whole card minus the main event because of work though so that sucks to hear, kid looked like he had a bright future ahead of him

 

[Chris John]

How old is Khabib? It's gotta be him...

 

[BigMuffler]

Aside from the most obvious one in GSP, Rumble (33) and Tate (30) although Tate would have fallen out of the top 3 if she didn't retire.

 

[Kumason]

Adlan Amagov had championship potential in many people's eyes.Retired at around 25 due to idk to focus on religion iirc which is a bit ironic since he recently stabbed a guy in the chest during a gang fight which left a few dead and a bunch injured.Obviously not top 3 but an honorable mention.

[M4R5]

Cole conrad

Edit: not top 3 tho

 

[Khabib Fan]

David Terrel or Ronda Rousey.

 

[HAWTRIDDUM]

The Diaz bros.

In their minds they are both top 3 p4p

 

[Blayt7hh]

Phillip Miller 16-0

This is the first one I thought of when I read the title, not sure how old he was though

 

[Calipwnia]

gsp left when he was like 33

He left on a loss just before USADA

GSP retired number 1. Although he's coming back so there goes that . Conor may not come back so him.

They always come back, it's sad but true.
