Big Nog, Little Nog, Stefan Struve, Shogun and Bigfoot have all accumulated a lot of brain damage in their MMA careers. Am I the only one who wants them to retire? I don't want to watch them get any more brain damage and I cringe at the thought of watching them fight this Saturday. Does anyone else feel the same way?
Big Nog and Big Foot need to retire after tomorrow, win/lose. Lil Nog, Shogun and Struve may have 2-3 more fights left in them. Let's see how they do tomorrow night and judge from there.
I've said a couple of times, no-one has ever died in a major MMA org, but the UFC have really gone out of their way to try and make it happen with this card. You wait for one and then 3 might come at once...
I'm worried for shoguns and Bigfoots brains, the Nog brothers could retire with honor, but Struve is still clear in his head.
Guy has been on the wrong end of multiple bad KOs. Also like Nog he even took a LOT of damage in the fights he won.
Because of his heart condition and that fact he's been KO'D 6 times already. I'm just saying give the guy a couple more fights and see how he does. If he wins, continue on, if he continues getting knocked out, then it's time to hang em up.
To those saying Struve is fine...he's been knocked out several times and then afterwards his head hit the floor, and 7 feet in a long way to fall. Also, he has an enlarged heart and a leaking aortic valve.
You'd assume that if Struve's heart condition was still at a dangerous level, that he wouldn't even be able to train and exert himself to the level he'd need to for a high-level athletic event like a professional MMA fight, let alone pass a physical and get licensed to fight.
Struve especially, fuck man. I know he is the freshest face there but dude needs to just step back and think about his future.
Im ready for my hero Shogun to hang them up. I want the guy to have a high quality of life after hes done. He deserves it. Struve definitely needs to quit..hes got to be a top candidate for first octagon death.
