very interesting career.

Hopefully this thread will not only include pics from the aftermath of the Bisping beating.

Some real highlights in Le's MMA career.

 

i mean with all the increased testing lately, it's probably for the best

 

he was more or less a hobbyist flirting with retirement for the past few years anyway so it doesn't feel like a particularly big deal... however... i wish him in the best in retirement, he was a nice fighter to watch in the cage

 

always liked Le a lot, probably for the best that he retires, he was in his 40s

 

he was too old when he got to the ufc


wouldve love him here age 26 or so

 

I hate to see him go, but when it's time, it's time... I hope he does well in films, he's a decent actor.

you're a fail, bro

that post was hilarious

 

You're amused easily 😧

Yeah, agreed. I liked that post.

I wonder though, has "cry me a river" always had a condescending designation? Or was it later when someone exclaimed to promptly build a bridge and get over it? Or was the phrase always uttered in such a way?

 

hope he made the ufc earlier. or had more fights.had a really long lay off after fighting rich franklin
