News James Vick Retires From MMA

[Brodie]

Good for him to know when to call it quits.

 

[Roljo]

Not surprised

 

[ThaiSexPills]

Dude is only 33. Hope he enjoys his retirement though

War Vick

Respect for knowing when to call it quits, many of our all time greats could not even do this

Watch Khabib announce a comeback now.

The hardest thing to do for an athlete is to step away and admit they can't compete anymore. It's even worse if you're retiring young from failure. We all have given Vick a ton of shit for his smack and reveled in his knockouts, but good for him that he's aware he needs to stop fighting and taking unnecessary damage or getting knocked out again and again. He had enough balls to go in there and fight, which is a lot more than most of us can ever say.

Good..

The lad actually has some self awareness. Wish him luck in whatever he pursues next !

 

[podsox]

his career is an example of extreme weight cutting gone wrong imo. nobody that tall with his frame should be cutting to 55

His brain and teeth are probably 60 by now.

 

[Eiffel-sixtyFight]

At least he has his millions to fall back on from fighting in the UFC.

 

[Yashabo]

Respect, he made it further than most and has taken some mad punishment. Smart to get out before it's way too late!

 

[Kryptt]

Prolly best for him and his family's future.

G'luk and always thanks for the scraps...

Yea, I'm glad he is done for now. Still, like most guys that retire from mma I have a feeling he'll be back for more and I don't think it'll end well for him. Vick's best option imo is to hang em up for good.

 

[ThePatriot]

One of the greats

 

[PicoPulse]

Yikes nasty injury

Maybe he won't make CTE a laughing matter anymore

 

[Danespina]

 

[mmadeewana]

his brain is happy

 

[MMAProfessional]

Good to see. Speaking of which is Barao officially retired? Hasn't fought in a while but I havent heard him say it. Not as bad as Vick but when you were up there being considered the best of all time to not being able to win I think it's time to hang it up.

 

[Antix]

He came across a bit of a dick vs Gaethje

But respect to anyone who gets into the cage to fight. That post was really well written and makes you feel for the guy and his family, hopefully he finds whatever career is next.

Wish him the best. He really did have a good UFC run before his disastrous end.
