BJ Penn,, won the belt from Hughes and walked.
...walked into a hat trick of defeats to Edgar and the Rory Shuffle.

You wont find many. One,because the UFC's contracts tend to prevent anyone from retiring on top,and 2) Fighters generally dont quit while their ahead. If your like GSP,another fight is another million dollars waiting.
that's not true, theres no contract that can force you to fight if you want to retire
GSP certainly left on his terms.
BJ and Bas both left with/gave up their belts.
It's not retiring but they did it on their terms I'd say.
.....maybe Bas did retire, not sure without checking first.
Dude,, Edgar was 6 years after he won the belt
In terms of leaving the UFC, sure.
But as for his actual retirement? He was getting his ass kicked at the end.
I'm struggling to understand wtf TS is trying to say
So you're saying they put the champ up against a legit competitor?
Wow how horrible!
I guess they should have given him some creampuff to stomp huh?
Who said anything about asking for him to fight creampuffs? Where do you get this stuff?
He got his ass kicked in most of his late-career fights and retired not on his own terms...
There are people suggesting that GSP retired because of all the doping tests ... Is that really on his terms? Also, imo he didn't deserve the nod against Hendricks, so he was lucky to still be the champ.
Lennox is a very good parallel. GSP and the Hendricks fight were very much like Lennox and Klitschko.
And Serra was his McCall.
