Felder’s coach and manager

[Kaiokenrye24]

Both of them walked back Paul Felder’s potential retirement talks granted it was an emotional moment to lose that decision(he deserved the nod)
It does seem like a sketchy thing to do imo

That was a pretty disappointing fight for him

This is like the 3rd time he's threatened to retire after a fight.. If he wants to go they should just let him

 

[poor form]

The man didn’t commit to retiring. Did you hear Cormier after Stipe knocked his block off. It’s 6 of one, and a half dozen of the other.

I never take losing post fight speeches as gospel.

Especially after a somewhat controversial decision such as that.

-Exactly. And on top of all that, the number of times he got his bell rung and the sheer damage he took....plus he's clearly lonesome for his daughter training away from home. . .
Does he really want to retire? I don't know. I think he's still got some great fights left in him. Does he want to/should he change-up his training location, lifestyle, etc., if it's making him miserable and regretful. . . probably.
