My only memory of Vinc Pinchel was getting tossed around and slammed to Bolivia by Rustam Khabilov. Khabilov is like a proto-Khabib, and it's weird he hasn't fought since 2019. Also Pinchel has had himself a solid career after that rough introduction to UFC. Hope he has a comfortable retirement

Video package incoming?

Solid win over Jim Miller probably his highlight win wise.

 

[Blastbeat]

dude always looked like a LW Don Frye
great 'stache. decent fighter but went to decision a lot.
enjoy retirement!

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Happy retirement. I always saw him as trying to swaggerjack Dan Severn but without the unstoppable world class wrestling or record. But I think he meant good. Good decision to retire at his age.

When I hear or see the name Vinc Pichel I always think of a buff Freddy Mercury working a job that deals with a lot of motor oil.


Anyway, happy retirement big dawg

Weird career, at one point he was on a 7-1 run at LW. I barely remembered him because of how inactive he was. Guess he had tons of injuries.

 

[Pepy]

Vinc Pichel did OK in the UFC

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

About as devastating a retirement as Anthony Smith.
The last two samurais...

 

[KID Yamamoto]

He was a pretty fun fighter.

For me, there are 2 memories: that one and the fact he returned from a 3 year layoff to win a fight.
For me, he should have retired after that

 

[RockyLockridge]

I remember him getting ragdolled by rustam khabilov that was brutal.

He should chase Tony in gfl and beat his ass and settle that personal beef

He was cool, deserves to retire and sip pina coladas on a beach in Cuba
