Most mma fans or uneducated mma fans........believe a figther is only as good as his last fight. They dont seem to get that guys like SHogun fight to make a living and will continue to do so. Just cause a guy loses here and there and isnt top 5 or 10 ( not in the case of Shogun) he should retire. There are so many cases of fighters like Shogun that have similar careers and yet no one calls for them to retire.
Also, SHogun is one of the most popular fighters in mma, so everything he does is under a microscope and gets criticized.
I agree with you to an extent. Most top level fighters carry on a few more years than they probably should, but it's true that this is how he earns a living, so it's easy for all of us to simply say that he should retire.
Having said that, from a long term health point of view, I personally think it would be good for him to fight a couple more times and really think about retiring. Again, easy for me to say, I realize that.
