If Wand gets KOd, should he retire?

If Wand goes to sleep is it time? He'd be 3-8 in his last 11 inducing KOs by CC, Hendo, Page, and Leben. Plus getting dropped by Le.

If he gets ktfo devastatingly, yes without a doubt.

Hopefully it does not come to that.

I thought he should have retired when Chris Leben knocked him out...i'm still not over that.

to be fair thats not a bad list of guys to be koed by but Since the hendo ko I have been worried for him. I think after the page ko everyone knew it was the middle of the end. Ithink he deserves better than the casual mma fan remembering him as a wild puncher that went down when he got touched on the chin

I fully expect him to get beat and probably knocked out but I still said no. I want him to fight someone he can beat then retire on a win unlike Hughes and Chuck.

its just kinda sad that if wand was same age as stann or leben in their respective careers they would be blitzed and left for dead.

I really think the hunt,fugita and cro cop(x2) fights were real taxing on wand along with his training style. I remember him having a huge temp against hunt and again against someone else but fought anyway. Hunt is too big of a man to fight for a 205er especially with a 104 temp.

I think it was Wands training for all those years that really did it. Shoote Box supposedly went 100% in sparring.

See I think wand wins this fight but I still think he should retire. His fights are always entertaining but unfortunately wand ends up on the wrong side way to often now.

2nd KO of his career. Wasn't sleeping. Isn't know for being in wars.

I'd still like to see Wandi retire but he's a stubborn old warhorse, does anybody honestly think he'll get a better opportunity to ride into the sunset than knocking out Stann in Japan ?

Nope, odds are his next fight he ends up the way Stann ended up last night.

I want wand to retire as well, for his sake. He is vengeance built for war . At some point and that point is now we are all guilty of wanting to see him for our own pleasure, but his familly and friends have to be troubled by this scenario every day.

I think Wand needs to win two more times to prove he just doesn't belong in MMA anymore. Letting him fight and win a few more times should be enough to prove to everyone that Wanderlei has no place in the sport and he should be forced to retire.

lol it has nothing to do with belong its just he isnt a contender and IMO the larkins and boetchs of the world do not deserve to potentially defeat Wand

Whoever is better deserves to be the winner and if it's ones contender-ship status that dictates fans demanding resignations then why is the list so short.

I mean why did you guys not want to see Silva beat Stann? I don't get it.

Because Stann is a classy guy who is the real Captain America !

well... now.. I hadn't considered that.

reasons

1. his health

2. legacy

fans will always want to see certain fighters, If chuck liddell came back to fight someone it would sell more fights than a HW title fight. Doesnt make it a good choice for Chuck liddell

Chuck vs Silva. Both retiring after its done. One last slugfest as they ride into the sunset.

I want Chuck to fight Tito 1 more time. Tito wants another fight after Forrest ruined his final moment. Chuck wants to beat down Tito 1 more time. Why not? Chuck would still maul Tito. They both leave as they should. Tito battered in the corner with Iceman celebrating in the cage. The way it was suppose to end.

But Chuck already did it to him twice. I say Tito doesn't deserve the opportunity. If he wants to fight again then he can rematch Badar.

Disagree. Chuck knocking out Tito 1 more time is as good as it gets.

Doctors and Wanderlei handle his health, nobody diagnoses anything from their couch.

Wanderlei Legacy is fine always has been always will be.

Comes down to freedom of personal choice. The perfect time for Wanderlei to retire is whenever he wants to or when he is medically barred from doing so, not for mma fans afraid a guy might be punched or people scared that his career of greatness will simply disappear all the sudden if he doesn't always win at the same rate and magnitude has he did when he was at his best.
