GOATs fall and they fall hard.
"Great fighters don't retire they have to be beaten into retirement" -Kenny Florian.
This is true in boxing and all combat sports. It's sad to me to see a slowed Silva, totally aged Cro Cop, Hunt hesitant w Brock when he stuck it to the same size Aerts like lightning, and Fedor struggling with cans. Many great fighters, put on embarassing, slowed down, or terrrible perfomances in their twilight years.
I think GSP exit was the most graceful. In the Kendrics fight he didn't get KTFO like Cro Cop did a dozen times in UFC.
GSP looked simply like a robot whose battery was running low. It was painful to watch him as he was presented with a riddle he could no longer solve but still had the strength to take a beating.
I think he should stay retired. GSPs a smart guy and he knows his level must have decreased. He's gotten older, his style is very clear w all the footage and plans against it easy to make, and there's younger, faster more well rounded guys out there.
I don't want to watch GSP struggle w Gatekeepers. Unless he goes to Rizin and crushes some cans, I'm not interested in UFC comeback. I could be wrong but I think he knows he's slowed.
Stay retired GSP, live free and enjoy your life, health and $$$ !!!
