That Was The Coolest Retirement I've Ever Seen

[Shilajit]

Just all the OG's of the sport in the cage to support him.

Don't think I've ever seen anything like that in this sport.

brings a tear to your eye.

I hope to see more of this. In the UFC as well.

Greats and legends throughout history should to be sent off in a way worthy of their legacy.

Not just thrown by the wayside. Which seems to happen far too often.

 

[IndyCovaHart]

It was a great sign of respect for sure.

 

[flektarn]

It was like the end of the lord of the rings where frodo leaves middle earth but better.

That's how legends should be treated. It is just a small glimpse of how team sports treat their retiring legends. I think Coker is overrated as a promoter and organizational president, but he got this one right. Hespect.

 

[USA!USA!]

I liked how Fedor made fun of Liddell for being fat. Made me chuckle.

Way better than UFCs send offs for sure

 

[Schoolboy Q]

He’s the HW goat, No one is even close to catching up to that. Excellent career overall, his reign in pride was fairly dominant, he went unbeaten for years and retired with a respectable record despite late career losses. One of the best to ever do it.

That's how Bellator treats legends. What did UFC do for Anderson for his last mma fight lol. Btw did anybody else notice Renzo Gracie wearing a shirt with Alexander Emelianenko on it lol

Yeah, like what they did to Anderson after that Hall loss.

 

[RedMountain]

Fedor is the MMA greatest and a great human being.

Better than getting smashed in by a dangerous no-name on the preliminary portion of a PPV card, and then having Rogan shove a microphone in your face?

Not sure how that can be beat, to be honest.

all that shit he takes has got him bloated. Probably the TRT

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Legends from that era showing respect to the GOAT of that era...

 

[RollSonnenRoll]

I liked the line from Dan that now that your era is over, their era is over. That's a cold reality but it really gave weight to the moment.

 

[Dionysian]

Different sports culture. We loved Pride because it valued the fighters. UFC thrives because it is never about the fighters, it is about the brand. It may mean the UFC won't die, but it also means it ain't all that alive.

That's why we love Fedor for Fedor, rather than the 82% income he funnels towards the top of the WME corporate ladder.

WAR FEDOR

Haha that's actually a pretty awesome analogy.

he will always be the best to ever do it. till someone does it better

 

[swarrrm]

I didn't cry I swear.

 

[Fists of Fire]

Big props to Bellator. They did it right.
