If Joe Riggs wins, should he be re-signed to the UFC?

[Ogata]

Curios to know your thoughts, if he wins, should he be back in to the UFC?

His second stint around mid-2010s was bad timing. But now he is really conjuring up his full potential by awakening his inner strength. Despite age, he has experience, wisdom and knowledge.

He is also very powerful now since he doubled down on the Art Of Boxing which is his TRUE prodigal fighting style as oppose to messing around with kickboxing and grappling which he was never really good at in the first place.

Why? He's having success in boxing. Why come back to MMA with a ton of more things to worry about?

 

[JustBleed69]

Absolutely not.
I'll always support the old school guys, but Riggs isn't a UFC caliber fighter anymore.
Don't want to see him go through that kind of trauma

 

[Odoylerules4lyf]

They have Mike Jackson under contract. They might as well bring Riggs back, I'd be more interested in seeing him fight than a lot of the guys at the bottom of the division.

Totally. Boxing is a very different sport to MMA. Why on earth leave success to get exposed in MMA and likely not paid anything significant more.

well there's your answer...

 

[ninja boot]

Joe riggs is far beyond his prime

Riggs is old and trust me, I wanted him to succeed when he came back after winning that Bellator show. Him hurting his neck on a takedown showed he can't compete at the top level anymore though unfortunately.

 

[Grandwizard666]

Hey if Mike Jackson can be in the UFC and win two fights I think you have a chance TS

 

[kingofthecans]

I don't like seeing him box with his neck and back issues, but fuck maybe it's better if he sticks with that then mma. If he got slammed hard what position would he be in health wise afterwards. Might be a shitty rest of his life.

I got crappy back issues and the past 20 years has been fucking horrific. He should just play it safe instead of possibly hating the rest of his life cause of how he would feel.
Just my 2 cents.

 

[HHJ]

No.

UFC should not be hiring 39 yr olds

this dudes in fucking love with Joe Riggs and Junie Browning, he clearly has a type dyed blonde hair, white trash and not very good

 

[WhosTheBoss]

OP is Riggs. And we love you. But no.

 

[blaseblah]

Why would he earn a UFC contract fighting cans in bareknuckle?

Yeah, just ask Paige. She wasn’t even in her prime when she lost to that one chick in bkfc. What’s her name again?
