So young.

Stockholm card curse hits again

I really wanted to see him vs Shogun. I thought he would retire Shogun.

 

[kimocomplex]

he is right, he took some good knocks and better to not risk CTE

pretty good career i might add

Very wise decision. Hope we see more of this.

 

[TCE]

So four fighters have retired over the weekend: King Mo, Gus, Manuwa and Hein.

All the best to all of them in their future endeavors. I was lucky enough to watch Gus v Manuwa live in London.

He could have worked on his defense instead.

People will take shots but hespect himi.

A warrior who has done what most of us have only dreamed of. He made some dream inside the octagon and he’d been put in dreamland in the octagon as well.

Hope he has a happy retirement and he’s got nothing to be ashamed of.

 

[Ares Black]

Probably for the best.

I enjoyed watching him fight, but 4 losses in a row including 3 brutal KOs is not a good look.

Retired?.........I’m just happy he’s alive after the weekend!!!!

 

[Limit Smasher]

He got pretty far considering how late he got into the sport and his lack of a martial arts background. There's no need for him to keep going out there and getting knocked out anymore. Hope he enjoys retirement.

Good for Jimi. He had a great career. He left his mark, and he entertained us for years.

Obviously, the decision is wise. Jimi can still beat great fighters on skill and power, but his chin cannot survive. He's making a wise move as a family man. I just hope he doesn't come back to fight Jan Blachowicz for a third time in 2031....

Best of luck to Manuwa in retirement.

Bound to happen soon

The amount of brain damage he’s taken in the last two years is too much

 

[sonhow]

Hespect

He did great for a guy who started so late. Best of luck to him, he was ALWAYS entertaining whether he was blasting guys out or getting blasted out.
