Assuming GSP does not come back.
Not many retire after a win. Both of these guys did. Does one look like they went out at a better time?
Does the mystery of going out on top add to the lure of possibilities.
Who in your opinion has more of a mystic about the what ifs if they came back.
Nice thread, friend. You get a like. I have to be honest, though. I don't know alot about Rickson.
However...
I hated GSP retiring. Strictly, from a selfish fan, pov. It only lasted a very short time, though.
This man earned that right, imo. No second guessing, no major controversy, no career ending injury. The man gave MMA, the UFC, and us FANS, everything he had. And he did it with class. No matter how much shit his opponents talked. Georges always said... " I do my talking in the octagon ". And, he orated a classic.
Part of me wants him to stay retired. Part wants him to come back. But, it's his call, and neither choice would change my thoughts about the guy.
EDIT... I just hope if he does come back. It's for nothing less than a Superfight ( Silva, Robbie, or to settle the score against Hendricks ). Hendricks technically, not a super fight. But, I think you get my drift. And I would totally consider the current WW champion vs the GOAT WW, a superfight.
Please, no freakshows, or " fun fights "
ALL OR NOTHING.
