or he's thinking of retiring

Dude if you believe that then I don't know what to think of you??? This is all M-1 and Fedor keeping people thinking about when his contract is up. If he is gonna retire, SF or UFC is gonna have to make the deal sweeter to keep him fighting. I am not saying this is the sole reason for him saying what he said, but it does have something to do with it. Fedor has mentioned the "R" word a bunch of times over the last 5 years. Everyone thinks about retiring and living the easy life. Fedor isn't gonna do that and leave a bunch of money on the table. He still has 4-5 good years left in him as long as his hands don't get broken anymore.

Long story short.....I don't think Fedor is truely wanting to retire right now. If he loses in the grand prix I might worry a bit then. If he wins it and then wins the title I don't think he will retire for about 4 years at at the least. Maybe I am just being an optimist. If Randy can fight at 46 years old, there is no reason Fedor should retire if healthy at 38. He is only 34 years old right now......I think????
