Just watched him fight on Bellator and he looked old and slow. He looked bad against Seth Petruzelli...

Ricco looked like a fucking waste of life. That dude's name better never be mentioned on here again as giving someone a credible fight

He was awful. Seth did look like a Silverback after the KO punch when he dropped bombs on Ricco's head. When Big Dan jumped out of the way for a second I tought "You better get ur big ass back in there Dan", and luckily he stopped the fight. RIP Ricco!

After watching the Bellator HW's I think Ricco would have a better chance against Cole Konrad as much as I hate to say it. I was not imprezz with his parfourmenz against Head Hunter much either. That was my first Cole Konrad fight so I could be wrong.

Yeah that was gruesome and Seth is a game opponent imo. Will see how he does in the LHW tournament

Ricco still beats the Majority of Pro Heavyweights fighting today. Should the 12 guys he beat in a row retire also. Should there only be 50 guys fighting professionally in the HW division, come on, seriously. Fickle people.

Seth was very close to still being in the UFC. People might forget that ass whooping that he got careless in not too long ago. When it comes to standup Seth can stand with most LHW or HW out there.

Coming off of 12 straight wins would not suggest retirement. If he wants to compete still, then he definitely still has some gas in the tank. Won't be in the UFC anytime soon though.

12 straight wins against at best C level competition and Ricco looked mediocre against pretty much all of them

Sure he can, but the dude still can't do anything when he's up against a wrestler so it doesn't make a big difference

Yeah I'm just saying he isn't some bum, especially in the standup. No one should be shocked here.

If that's as good of shape as he's going to get into, anybody with skills is going to hurt him. I personally don't care about his well-being, so he can do whatever he wants but he isn't competition for anybody high up on the charts right now
