I dont know how you bring a fighter back that sat down and quit. I like black beast but man that is about as close to a cuttable action as there is. He quit mid fight cant trust him on main cards or to lead a fight night at the very least.
 
Derrick is done fighting high ranked guys that's for sure. I think he has a few left in him if he fights low/mid tier guys though. I also think Derrick may have been injured going into this fight, maybe his knees cause he looked more bloated then normal like he couldn't train as hard as he could have. Not to mention he was the most immobile he's ever been, yea Derrick was never all that mobile but he was damn near standing in place the entire fight.
 
Well if black Beast.Hasn't learned decent ground game yet after so many fights and so many years in the organization than he is screwed


He is so flat footed he constantly slips like a tard. If he just dedicated himself to becoming a better fighter than a witty trashtalker, he would be better
 
I think there's probably more to the story.

Black Beast didn't look right. I think he was injured.

The dude has had lower back problems for years. I bet he hurt it again in training.

This is the dude that fought JDS with a torn ACL and MCL. So he has a history of not telling fans he's injured and just trying to go out there and fight through the pain.

I know everyone is calling him a quitter and a disgrace but I'm telling you something was wrong. He's never looked that slow and immobile before.

And he probably doesn't want to say anything because he didn't want to look like he's making excuses.

The dude's career may be over. If so, thanks for the memories, beast!
 
I am a fan of Black Beast but he look like he ran out gas there pretty fast and just couldn't get anything started what do you think
Definitely a fan, but he starting declining a couple of years ago. He's too slow now. I'm sure he can find some fun things to do in retirement.
 
People think Jones quit because of Tom

Beast was the actual new Jones killer
 
Guy has had a great career. He was in there with a quicker sharper younger guy. Either way, its time..
 
Im a fan of the guy but he showed up for a paycheck nothing else.
Thats fine and all but where was all that bullshit about him being in shape and what not.

He looked the same, fought the same and quit pretty much the same when he loses.

Thank you for the KOs sir but its time to retire.
 
yeah it looks like he isn't even trying anymore. i mean he slipped, rolled over on his back and basically gave up. honestly it looked like something else, but ain't gonna say it.
He clearly has almost no mobility in his left leg/hip and also looked like he blew a hamstring or something in his right leg when he went down because he clearly grabbed at it like it was hurt. At that point he knew there was nothing he could do
