Jimmy Flick. Interesting prospect coming out of the contender series, does a flying armbar in his debut and retires in his prime a few months later. Really sucks he looked badass.

Maybe Kron??
If he gets his shit together, he still has potential.

I was thinking Krons son. Kron isn't that young. He will have talks like, you see son, our family has been losing a long time because of our lack of striking... and then kron Jr trains boxing,etc from a young age too
 
<--------Until he signs to fight again. It seems like hes wants to but isnt getting the matchup offers he wants. Nick in elite xc/strikeforce was cant miss tv.

Seeing hendo retire/get old sucked. GSP got me into MMA but I was tired of the LnP. Seeing Chuck Liddel and Rich Franklin lose and that whole new era of MMA was weird for a few years in general.
 
Sakuraba

But Pride beat him into retirement by feeding him to massive LHWS and heavyweights like it was some weird sado fetish.

I miss the days when having the last name "Gracie" pretty much meant you were going to win.

Will there ever be another great "Gracie" In terms of the rankings?....

Probably not, especially with their mindset of not training wrestling and other arts. Neiman Gracie is a fantastic fighter who improves so much each fight. He really surprised me with his improvements. Although wacky and not technically correct, his style is unpredictable and obviously a killer on the ground. Of the top of my head he's far and away the best Gracie right now. With how good fighters are on the highest level these days it's hard to imagine another "great" Gracie, but it depends on what you consider great. I'm thinking you mean some dominant unbeatable champ, or at least a champ for a while and I don't think you'll ever see that again in the UFC. Maybe, odds are no, but I consider Neiman a great fighter, but not great in those terms. Those days are gone.

Guy has 6 fights in like a thousand years, how could you not have given up on him being the next big thing by now? Not giving you shit, just saying. I don't see how anyone could have any expectations out of Kron at this point. He's a super talent, but part time (at best) fighter.

Deep down I know...sadly the last time I've heard of him was talking on a podcast about the earth being flat. It would've been really cool if another Gracie made it to the top of the UFC after all these years later.
The main issue with him is inactivity. Kron is not the youngest guy, he's 32 and turning 33 this year. He's pretty much wasting prime years, if I'm being realistic his highest ceiling is top 15-10 at 145.

and that's what sucks, the potential was there but he never went in that direction and the things he says, he never will. So that's done. He'll never be anyone at the top. We can write him off. We are way passed potential talk, he won't end up being anything big. He's too dumb, like all gracies besides Renzo.

I'm inclined. I suppose the only hope is the shear number of Gracies there are at this point.
