Jordan Mein has retired from UFC/MMA

[Diet Otsuka]

I guess you could say he really skizzed on the grizzlies fur on this one. (Canadian saying)

 

[Sgt Smith]

Damn, that sucks as a fan. Young retirement, but Jordan has plenty of mileage for his age. Will be missed.

 

[savemgs]

He will be back.

So much for the new breed. It seems starting training "MMA" at a young age is more of a disadvantage rather than an advantage.

How so?

Head trauma for shit pay, I commend his decision. I hope a lot of fighters come to this conclusion: that you can still train and love the sport, without getting exploited and living on welfare. Get a real job!

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Good for him.

Definitely not a sport to pursue if you don't feel it anymore and better retire young than turn into a Nog

 

[ShreddinMMA]

Dammit. That's really too bad. I loved watching him fight. Dude had some slick striking.

 

[bjjHERRERA]

hope he reconsiders after some time off.

 

[Tsar]

he looked super talented and is still really young at 25. wow.

Nice to see.

Its amazing how many fans think fighters owe them their brain cells because they shelled out 49.99 to watch, which mostly goes into the pockets of the company, not the fighters.

 

[Shishio]

God damn it. GSP retired, Jordan Mein retired now and Grant as good as retired...canadian mma is cursed!

thats just about how I feel

thats just about how I feel

I'm not Canadian ( I'm australian ) but those guys are a lot of my favourite fighters to watch i fear for Rory if he takes another beating like he did against Lawler despite his psychopath demeanour i think he could be the next to retire .

 

[EARLOBE]

Good guy and great fighter. Enjoyed every one of his fights that I saw. Just too much mileage on him for his age. Wonder if he'll get into coaching.

 

[Kertol]

all these young fighters retiring all of a sudden?

could it be the reebok deal killing it?

this is what went through my head

Rory has been in some punishing fights. I would not be surprised to see with it catch up with him sooner rather than later.

 

[Nihongi]

Canadian MMA is fucked...

 

[MilesAbove]

But he was just about to make dat sweet $10k!!! How could he turn down that A-Level money?

 

[Scuba]

welterweight division just lost some young blood
liked watching him fight but as others have pointed out he has a lot of mileage on him. better to retire while your body still works

 

[FinBJJ]

Disappointed as a fan, but if he felt it was time to retire it was probably a good call. The Brown fight might have already shortened his lifespan. Rarely do fighters retire too early.
