Well that didn't last long

 

[Just Creed]

Was thinking bout that fight a couple days ago. Hope he's making the right decision

 

[reddhelium]

surprised when he retired. surprised when he unretired.

i recall frankie edgar singing his praises.

 

[Guernica]

Who?

 

[Nightmaree]

Who is Fedor?

Hodor.

Hold. The. Door.

 

[Bboy]

I'm not surprised, fighters always retire and then unretire, add in the fact that he's also pretty young. His only two losses are to Chris Wade and Johnny Case, both who are also in the UFC.

 

[IndyCovaHart]

Obligatory "Who?"

 

[Byron Pechorin]

I don't know who he is : /

 

[Kalmah]

Called it after he announced his "retirement".

 

[ortizgnp]

Hodor.

Hold. The. Door.

I gave up on a 10/10 because of her obsession with that piece of shit show.

 

[Deleted member 501827]

No idea who that is. Didnt even notice he used to be in the ufc.

 

[jonathan274]

I gave up on a 10/10

 

[touchedbyjab]

I'm not familiar with that fighter.

 

[Senbonzakura]

why he retired in the first place ??

He suffers from extreme anxiety before fights and does almost nothing but question himself before coming out the octagon. He suffers from the same condition that has held Matt Wiman out from competition for so long as well.

 

[SimonNova]

The wind could KO Stout nowadays.

I can't root for fighters who make those fake retirement announcements to get themselves some publicity.
