Why did Rumble retire ... and not just move to HW?

[LockardTheGOAT]

Rumble was mentally checked out. Word is he wasn't even training properly for the second Cormier fight as he usually did, he supposedly only started camp four weeks out for that fight.

Seriously, Rumble isn't even as old and broken as most HWs .... the elderliest of the elderly are still in that division: Hunt, Arlovski, Nelson, JDS, Wedrum, Cane, Josh Barnettt, Alister Overeeem, Ben fuckin Rothwell

You tellin me Rumble couldn't contend and stand out here

Cause he would get his ass kicked by those giants. His power is not that significant at HW. He couldn't even put out Andrei " glass chin" Arlovski. He is like " fuck that shit"

Because he doesn't have the will to compete anymore? Which was obvious when he completely quit against Cormier. He also said himself that he's only in it for the money and doesn't want to take more damage.
