I'm sure many of you thought he should have retired before this fight, and I did as well. But he looked good against Salazar, not impressive, but not bad. Salazar himself isn't a great fighter so that's not saying much. I'd like to see him rematch Salazar then retire.
 
He obviously will never be in title contention but i'd say he has 1-2 years of fun fights left in him
 
He looked good. Maybe he needed a win to get some motivation back, idk. I'd say give him one more cause retiring on a NC is kinda lame
 
He looked good. Was akwardly stretching his knees o a couple of occaions. Which is a worry. But I'd like to see hi again.
 
Nah let him go on a decent win streak, fight TJ, win the title and then retire... a man can dream
 
No. He appeared to be moving around pretty good tonight.
 
When will fans stop trying to dictate to fighters when they should quit? He should do whatever the hell he wants to. It's his life.

According to your logic, Shogun and Hendo should continue their career for 10 more years. It's their life tho, who cares about getting KO'd with jabs and sitting at the top 15-20, diminishing the legitimacy of your previous successes, lets all encourage brain damage
 
Bro... I never thought she would win tbh... she was fighting Ronda. Although I expected her to make it somewhat of a fight.. I was just hopeful... :rolleyes:



You should just take it off unless you want an old fashion sherbullying fest

My logic doesn't determine how many years ANYONE should continue fighting. How fucking complicated is it for you?
 
Who cares? He went from being arguably the best pound for pound fighter in the world (Yes even above Feder) to having one win in his last 7 fights. He's not even top 20 in his weight class and he's fighting on prelims barely able to beat lower tier UFC fighters.

If he had retired in 2007 when he was basically undefeated I guarantee that he'd be remembered as one of the best ever(Because he was). Since retiring and coming back like 2 or 3 times since then he's basically done to his career what Ken Shamrock also did to himself. So at this point it doesn't really matter anymore. Kid should continue fighting for as long as he feels like it assuming he's not taking too much significant damage that can stick with him later. He'll never be a champion again but maybe he'll have a late career resurgence and put on some good fights and collect some wins. Who knows.
