That's what you call a distinction without a difference.The UFC can't retire anyone, they can only release them from their contract
The OP was about termination of their UFC career. Call it cut, retired, whatever.It's up to the Athletic Commission to deny a fighter's license. The best the UFC could do is cut someone from the roster.
I like what you're thinking but it's a bit too generous IMO2 losses in a row
stipe is 2-1 in his last 3 fights fighting the bestI can't believe some of you must still want to watch Chris Weidman and Tony Ferguson fight. They are two obvious, obvious reasons I'm making this thread. You guys enjoy watching them at their current levels???
Are some of you the same guys that are mad about Jones fighting Stipe?
I don't. But they shouldn't make some stupid rule either. Some guys can fight at 40 and it's dumb to exclude those for a stupid rule that makes no sense.I can't believe some of you must still want to watch Chris Weidman and Tony Ferguson fight.

I have mad respect for you Sherbro.Why would they do that?
Why ?
If ufc don't want you they'll cut you. If they don't,they wont. Why should they make rules they might not want to follow?
Imagine what money would be lost if Randy and Dan Henderson had to retire at 40.
And no there shouldn't be a seniors division.
no one should have to pay to see that shit. If the old can't compete w the young they can put over the next generation on the way out.
seeing two old fighters go at it is generally horrible.
shogun vs lil nog 1 = goat fight.
shogun vs lil nog 2 = meh
shogun vs lil nog 3 = ew
this is what bellator is for, not ufc
That's the fight game. Bonnar went to bellator and did pro wrestling and all sorts of shit after the he left UFC.I have mad respect for you Sherbro.
Here is why I think it as at least worth considering doing something aside from letting Dana decide to cut them. Dana, whom I don't like much as the boss there, will squeeze every last drop out of these guys until they spend the last 30 years of their life with Parkinson's and on pain killers. That's why.
I guess no one remembers that Stephen Bonnar just committed suicide. Wonder how much CTE he had?
Anyway.....
Hey.No man, terrible idea. It's better to burn out then to fade away.
