Is Rashad Close To Retiring?

[SuperBadAzz]

Rashad seems like a smart guy & I think he sees that the chances of him competing for a title again, let alone winning one, are very slim. He's a guy that is very comfortable in front of the camera & his insight is very good. He can definitely make a career of it the way others before him have. Do you see him going the way of Florian, or trying to make a comeback like Cruz? I think after 1 more, he'll call it quits.

He'll fight until he loses I think.

 

[TdotK]

Does he own a stake in the Blackzilians?

 

[dontsnitch]

I think he beats Glover.

 

[peralez**]

One can only hope, he pulls out more than John Holmes

 

[nintey]

Yeah I don't think his heart is really in it. Win or Lose to Glover I think it'll be his last fight. He has a nice gig commentating.

 

[Kirin]

Another one of jones's great wins

 

[EJRMAN513]

I would say yes and the Rashad/Glover fight is a crossroads fight to me. The loser is completely out of the picture at 205 imo while the winner is just barely in the picture. I don't see either of em beating Jones, Gus, Cormier or Rumble while Davis just beat Glover pretty easily and a rematch between Rashad and Davis is 50/50 to me at the moment.

 

[Duxtape]

He still fights?

 

[lelouch]

At 205 I dont think he can become Champ as long as bones is there but he can sure make alot of money fighting if he wants to. I dont think he retire.

Shame that Rashad's injuries have caused him to miss some big fights, including a title shot against Shogun. Jones moving up to HWT might convince Rashad to stick around at LHW.

 

[JKS]

Nah man...he's gonna fight for another 3 years. He's still still top 5 LHW these days and all could change this Saturday for him if Cormier wins.

 

[tightrope]

Listening to Chael Sonnens podcast it sound like once he gets back from this injury he will go till he gets injured again and retire

 

[thehench]

He's a million times better in front of the camera than Cormier.

 

[Scott Baiowulf]

I think he beats Glover.

so do I.

Not sure if that is a diss as John Holmes caught AIDS. Shad is probably safe from a life taking disease.

 

[Freddy Mercury]

He's definitely one day closer to retirement today than he was yesterday. Bump this when he retires.

 

[Cubo de Sangre]

Plenty of money left to be made for Rashad.

 

[CerebralKnievel]

Yeah I don't think his heart is really in it. Win or Lose to Glover I think it'll be his last fight. He has a nice gig commentating.

Last fight... Did you seriously think about that statement before posting it? Who has he been getting demolished by?

 

[SevenDeadlySins]

Nah, he is probably making good money just to fight and I like watching him fight. He does not have a boring style and is a pretty decent draw. He will stick around for awhile.
