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 +1 | |

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. your speculating from the couch as well, how many concussions has he had? How many will it take for his brain to show effects? How many doctors cleared NFL players only for those players to have severe injuries that end up ending their careers and in some cases their lives. I dont want to see a fighter that I basically grew up in mma with, a guy that gave me inspiration to actually step into a ring and cage be altered after a great career. He has a family and we are just now learning about damage in the brain. His spirit is waves ahead of what his body can do safely at this point IMO and thats where I am coming from. I am not saying I am right or wrong its just what I wish. I am coming from the stance as if it were my family or friend\ BTW when was that training video from? very good stuff good controlled hard sparring but still pulling back on your team mate | |
