Once a fighter gets his name established and is starting to past their prime that coaching/gym money is too much to turn down after a while.

U can make a good living opening gyms showing up a cpl times a week to show face. Settle down wifey up some fitness model hoe have sum roid kids and relax a bit. And if you have a cpl solid prospects in your gym you can make 100k a yr off them and the gym if your lucky. Without having to get your face bloody every 3 months.

Yea. Thats exactly why guys like Condit are talking retirement. Hes been fighting for 12 years and while hes is still good, why continue punishment for peanuts? These guys are educated, have family, and have more opportunity now. Don't want to end up like Don Fyre or Gary Goodridge, who I just read wanted to commit suicide because he has dementia.

Exactly man, at some point the money is not worth the life time of pain and suffering.

Every time I hear Wanderlei talk I feel bad for him. Can barely understand him so many head blows thru the years. A guy like Shogun or Dom Cruz their knee's are gonna be jacked for rest of their lives. Prolly won't be able to play sports with their kids.

Goodridge contemplated suicide?

I don't know enough about RDA to pick this fight. But if he's an underdog I'd put $100 on him.

He killed Corrone.
Killed my favorite fighter Benson Henderson
Killed my least favorite fight Pettis

And 1 thing I do know is that all those guys I mentioned would probably beat everyone at 145.

So yeah, RDA is great
Breh RDA is a savage. Does Conor really want it with that man? McGregor had the size advantage over Aldo and he seemed to have the mental advantage as well. He's not gunna have either against RDA. Dos Anjos hits hard as hell (Just ask Cowboy Cerrone) and is legit on the ground as well. Plus Conor's TDD is weaksauce imo, I remember bro getting slammed all over the place versus an out of shape Chad Mendes. I remember as soon as the bell rung Conor ran full speed like a lunatic at Chad just for Chad to catch him and slam him to the ground.
Just look at this shyt for God's sake...

:wow:

Another classic fight from the king nick :blessed:
I love the Diaz bros but what's good with them dropping their guard to taunt people? It's like they consistently do that shyt. They're so good that they can win even though they do this but I've always thought that was a horrible strategy.

They both usually do it so their opponents drop their game plan and trade shots with them. whats crazy is, that it worked for them up until 2-3 years ago once opponents realized if you continued to circle out or attack the low leg, the diaz bros would always plod forward eating shots. love watching those dudes fight. peeped nate checking leg kicks against johnson too :win:
