News Damir Ismagulov retires

[TheMessiah]

Damn that's sad, he was potentially a Top 5 LW in a strong division

 

[Kyojiro Kagenuma]

Cya

 

[PhilMcCavity]

Perhaps not worth risking their health nowadays with such poor financial reward

He’s from Kazakhstan. If he got paid 10 grand us he could buy half the country. No wonder he retired he’s probably bought a scar face mansion and a Bugatti

 

[Bboy]

Hopefully it’s not some crazy life threatening illness.

 

[Domitian]

Didn't expect this today. Best of luck to him. He's a very talented fighter but if you have to stop you have to stop.

 

[LoveMyMMA]

Damn Arman really laid and prayed this dude into retirement.
Was a big fan of Damir. But I don’t think he would’ve ever won a title.

 

[Just Creed]

As opposed to any other time in the sport's history when they got even less money and it was worth it?

Weird....where did I say it was worth it?

A couple bags of rice and a few goats would probably set him up

Right here.

So weird, very promising contender. Not many guys are going to be able to do what Arman did to him, so that really sucks.

Being MMA though, he'll probably un-retire next week.

 

[MGS]

He sprained his eye socket, too much blinking...

Bad joke aside man that sucks! Hopefully its only a health scare and he can recover and come back

 

[Feniamin]

He is from Russia. And I think Kazakhstan have higher average wages than Russia.

 

[BigOlJeet]

His last name ends with the letter V, of course he’s gonna have nuthuggers.

 

[Paul E Gensinger]

Damn that's a huge loss for the LW division, hope he's able to make a full recovery whilst not getting hit for a living. I really thought him, Gamrot, and Tsaryukan were going to be the next guys ruling at the top of LW. I really do hope this is for health and not an impulse thing.

Um, none of those were/are the future.

Thank you for that tidbit of truth.
There is an odd group of Arman fanatics that highly overrate the guy.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

It’s a real shame how many sports careers have been cut short because of health problems, etc.

Probably better than dying, I suppose.

Best of luck to him.

 

[Just Creed]

Right here.

That doesn't mean it was worth it back in the day though. Getting by doesn't mean it was worth it. You've misunderstood. Simple as

 

[Cowboy Kurt Angle]

Wow

 

[mmadeewana]

Wow. Hope he stays healthy.

 

[Jawth]

Shit, he is a good fighter.

I hope it isnt cancer or something like that.
