Which fighter you're gonna miss the most after retiring ?

Greatest career turn around ever? Went from getting finished by Sean McCorkle to fighting for the HW (interim) title and walk off KO's galore. And, did it all w/out TRT.

Yup, easily up there as one of the best career turn arounds. I really hope he gets 1 more title shot before he retires, the Werdum fight he took it on very short notice in very high altitude and he was totally dominating Werdum up until the knee, he could have won that fight had he had a full camp and at sea level.
 
TRT Vitor was the biggest loss we as MMA fans have ever had to deal with. You all just don't know it yet.
 
Hunto

The Machida.
Mostly Carlos Condit.
That man got me into this amazing sport and it will be a sad day when he hangs it up.
Bones
JDS
Aldo
Mendes
Edgar
Werdum.
Maia
Weidman
Silva
 
Jordan or Brett Favre. 'They're not mma figher's.' Fuck off, I'll pick
who I want.

Aside from the Akiyama fight i love all of Vitor's ko's. TRT Vitor is scary.
ineresting that he fought Ubereem twice and lost. They should make a catchweight between the two and both of em on the juice. I'd pay millions to watch it.

Do you have millions? If you do, I promise you we can make that fight happen ;)

I'm going to miss McGregor.

I'd bring back GSP so I can be nervous while watching a fight again.

I see.

I'll miss him and his outrageous inconsistency when it's his time to go. When he fights either someone dies or nobody throws a strike for 3 rounds for some reason.

Haha good one, Gonzaga is always there for us...gonna miss him too.
 
It's going to be a sad day for me when Vitor retires.. He has been my fav favoriter for nearly 15 years.... Guy has had exciting fights for basically all of his career
 
Hunt, he is just a super rare breed. Plus on top of that a cool dude, I don't think I've ever seen a boring Hunt fight.

He is probably the most natural born fighter I can think of.
 
Robbie Lawler. I've been a fan for a such a long time that it will seem weird when he's no longer fighting.

And from the retired ones, who you'd want to see one more time ?

I'd kill to see Prime BJ Penn, not really retired but i wish i could have watched more of his glory days. I'll probably miss both Nick and Nate a lot, also Machida, maybe Belfortrt a little. At least with Vitor we don't have to feel shitty after screaming "uh vai morrer" for 5 minutes and our homeboy not winning it in the end.

Dan Henderson, Mark Hunt, Frank Mir
 
All of my favorites are pretty much retired or are shells of their former selves already. Fedor, GSP, Chuck, Wandy, Shogun, Hendo, Rampage, Anderson, etc.

From the new gaurd there aren't a ton of guys who I hold the same level of fandom for as I did for those guys. I'll miss Conor, TJ and probably Jones a bit (for the sheer dominance) but otherwise with so many guys coming and going it's easy to constantly find new up and comers to follow, and with the level of talent out there it won't be long until your favorite guys start losing. There are some real killers on the horizon down in the lower weights... Guys like Breese, Ho Choi, Amirkhani, Bektic, Magomedov, Taisumov, Matthews, Vick, Case, etc etc. There's a constant influx of talent, it's hard to keep up with.

As far as seeing an old dog one more time in his prime, give me Fedor at his peak reflexes. I'd love to see that version of Fedor run the gamut of today's heavies. (Close 2nd: young hungry GSP.)
